Special Presenters
Another summer is here and that means it time for summer reading. We have a bunch of activities and performers for you to enjoy. The summer reading program is a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages to stay engaged, learn new things, enjoy many activities and continue to build the love of reading throughout the summer. It is important for the community because it brings people together, encourages lifelong learning, and helps create a stronger, more connected community through shared experiences and education.
We will be kicking off the Summer Reading Program with drones at the library. On June 4th we will be at the Henry V. “La Burra” Morales Recreation Center for some Circuit Play.
Renaissance Frenchies Therapy dogs will be back on June 30th to talk about safety with dogs and again they will bring two of their dogs to interact with.
Activities
Keep an eye on the library Facebook page and library Instagram for activities to try! We will use the hashtag #silvercityreads !
Join us for exciting weekend drop-in activities for all ages! Kick things off with Lego building, where you can create your own masterpiece or follow fun templates. Upcoming weekends will also feature ping pong ball challenges, dominoes, magnets. Come explore, create, play, and discover something new every weekend!
Swing by for crafts with SASS and 4-H. We will have visits from Rema the K9 and Advocates with Snakes. Best of all we will have drones, robots, and arcade time!
Some activities will be held at the new Henry V. “La Burra” Morales Recreation Center, giving participants even more space for hands-on fun and learning.
We have a Think Money activity kit from the American Library Association to help you think about money management. Come play games to learn about spending and saving money
We will also be having some of the same events we do year-round such as robots and chess club.
Baby Time: Tuesdays at 10 am
Summertime Story Time: Wednesdays at 10:00am at the Library
The library Summer Reading Program would not be possible without the support of the Friends of the Library, who provide funding for reading logs, incentives, equipment for activities, and everything else we need to make the program a success each year.
