Lincoln Public Library announces summer reading Program; "Paws to Read!"

[May 30, 2014]  LINCOLN - Summer is almost here and that means wild times at the Lincoln Public Library with the “Paws to Read!” Summer Reading Program. Children can sign up to read for cool prizes, attend engaging story times and art/craft classes and participate in our exciting Thursday morning events with visiting performers. All events are free, although advance registration is required for accurate planning.

Registration for children ages 6 months through 12 years will be June 2 through June 7. If you can’t sign up then, come in as soon as possible to get in on the fun! All reading logs are due July 26 at the conclusion of the program, and those that have reached their goal and turned in their logs by that time will be eligible for a free t-shirt.

The Teen Summer Reading Program will run June 9 – July 19 with special prize drawings each week, including a grand prize drawing at the close of the program. Our grand prize winner will enjoy a free bowling party from Logan Lanes. The library will also be hosting a “Pimp Your Paws!” Pizza Party for teens on June 27 at 6:00PM. Get the details and register for this event when you come in to pick up your first reading log.

Don’t miss out on the fun---“paws to read” this summer. We can’t wait to see you at the Lincoln Public Library! Please drop by the Youth Services desk or call us at 732-5732 for answers to your questions. You can also check out our website at www.lincolnpubliclibrary.org  for more information.
