Warsaw Community Public Library is a great place for families to spend time this summer, to learn and be inspired, thanks to the Summer Reading Program’s Dig Into Reading, Beneath the Surface, and Groundbreaking Reads.
Children in 5th grade and below can join Dig into Reading this summer at WCPL, June 3 through July 20. Programs include Stories in the Park, Legos, Fort Wayne Zoo Animals, Cre8tive Art, and Drop-in-Crafts. Special Thursday Programs include Roz Puppets in “Pigerella,” Jetta and the Jellybeans Band, The Bubble Wonders Show and Drummer Jim Catalano!
All activities are free of charge and open to the public. Free registration for the children’s Summer Reading Program is online at www.warsawlibrary.org, starting June 3, or June 3-7 in Room AB.
The teen Summer Reading Program also runs from June 3 through July 20. The theme is Beneath the Surface and those in 6th through 12th grades can participate. Teens are encouraged to participate in the variety of teen events and activities taking place throughout the WCPL.
Programs include the reading program where one lucky teen will win a Kindle Fire, a Hunger Games Survival Program, Tuesday movies in June, Drop in Zone video-gaming programs, a Halo Tournament, and opportunities to create through art, crafts and writing.
Free registration for the teen’s Summer Reading Program is June 3-7 in Room AB, or online starting June 3.
More information on how to sign up for programs can be found at the calendar on the library’s website.
Groundbreaking Reads is the theme for the adults segment. Adults can log pages from books, eBooks, and even audiobooks, to earn small incentive prizes and drawing tickets for larger prizes. SRP participants who attend adult events between June 3 and August 3 will also receive an event drawing ticket, which can be used for the drawing ticket prizes. There are around 60 events scheduled, including craft classes, computer classes, zombie movies, and special events. Listen to some Ragtime Piano, learn about Warsaw’s past with The Underground Railroad and Archeology in Your Community, and search the skies at Meteorites and Craters or Asteroids and Comets. The reading program is open to adults 18 and older and will run from June 3 through August 3 with signup June 3-30.
Registration for all ages opens June 3 at WCPL and online at www.warsawlibrary.org.
