Library to Offer Summer Reading Programs for Children & Teens


Tompkins County Public Library will celebrate summer with the June 25 launch of free reading programs for expectant parents, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-aged children and teens.

Programs being offered for 2016 are:

READ TO ME (Pregnancy through Age 4): “Read to Me” encourages parents, parents-to-be and other caregivers to foster a love of reading at an early age.  Registrants who complete a Reading Bingo Card--featuring ideas on incorporating early literacy activities in their everyday routines--will receive a free book and a chance to win gift certificates from local merchants. For more information and to download a Bingo Card, visit: tcpl.org/kids/programs-summer-pre-reader.php.

On Your Mark, Get Set… READ! (Ages 5 through 10):  “On Your Mark, Get Set… READ!” is designed to promote reading for children ages 5 through 10.  Participants are encouraged to read every day during the summer months. Children who keep track of the time they spend reading will receive a free book and the chance to win raffle prizes. For more information and to download a Time Tracking Log, visit: tcpl.org/kids/programs-summer.php.
Get in the Game, READ! (Tween & Teen Challenge):  Teens can participate in Summer Reading 2016 by keeping track of the time they spend reading for a chance to earn prizes. All teens receive a free book with registration. For more information, a full list of teen programming and great book suggestions, visit: tcpl.org/teens/srp.php.
