Lincoln Public Library District and United Community Bank Hosting Grand Summer Reading Program Finale
 

[July 20, 2021]    The Lincoln Public Library District along with United Community Bank of Lincoln will be hosting a Grand Summer Reading Program Finale for Reading Colors Your World, on Thursday, July 22 from 10:00AM – 2:00PM.

Festivities will begin with Silly Safaris, a live interactive animal conservation education program at 10:00AM on the lawn of the Carnegie building. Followed by, United Community Bank sponsoring free ice cream and a bounce house for summer reading participants from 11:00AM – 2:00PM at Latham Park. Rain will bring most of the planned activities inside the Annex.

Reading Colors Your World participants have been busy all summer beating the summer slide by reading and completing their book logs for incentives, attending program events, and taking home educational craft kits. Studies show that reading over the summer prevents summer reading loss. When students feel at ease reading, they tend to choose books they enjoy, thus becoming lifelong readers.

The last day to turn in Lincoln Public Library District book logs to receive a Reading Colors Your World tie-dye t-shirt is Saturday, July 31. The adult summer reading program ends August 31.
