Looking Forward to Summer!

It might be hard to believe, but summer will be here before we know it!  This year, our Summer Library Program's theme is Libraries Rock!

Join us for a summer filled with music and music related reading.  We'll kick-off with an opening party featuring Magic Man Dorian LaChance and that's just the start!  There will be contests, performances and it will all be topped off with a Sock Hop.

Don't miss out - register online starting Friday, June 1 or register in-person at the library starting on Monday, June 4.

Thanks for your participation!

Another Summer Library Program season has come to an end.  We started off with a fantastic kickoff party featuring Magic Man Dorian LaChance.

That was followed by two movies, a marshmallow construction challenge, a duct tape workshop and a mystery engineering challenge!

We hope everyone who joined in had a great time and will join us again next year!

Summer Library Program -- For Adults

The theme for this year's Summer Library Program is "Build a Better World." The Summer Library Program's (SLP) kick-off party for children is Monday, June 5, 2017 and the closing party is on Thursday, July 20, 2017. In between, there are plenty of activities and challenges for the kids and families to participate in, but that doesn't mean that those without children and those who are young-at-heart cannot participate.

I am issuing an Adult SLP reading challenge for any adult who wants to participate.Come into the library and check-out a book, audio book, mp3 audio book, or go online and check-out any e-book or e-audio book. Need ideas on what to read? We will have a table front-and-center of book selections that fit with this year's theme (both fiction and non-fiction). Once you've finished, let us know how you liked it. You can write a mini review on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/WCVPLibrary), or our Twitter account (@WCVPLibrary use #AdultSLP). If you want, we'll have cards you can fill out and leave at the display table.
Why would you want to do any of this? Well, for one thing, it's fun and, more importantly, it helps us to see what our patrons like to read. You might also find some new author or genre to add to your reading list and you will definitely be setting a good example for any young people you know. So... Build A Better World: Read!

The Summer Library Program is nearing the finish line!

Remember - Friday, July 8 is the final day to report on books read for the Summer Library Program.  All participants that reach their goal by that date are invited to participate in the celebration which will feature magician Dorian LaChance!

Our end of Summer Library Program celebration will be on Thursday, July 14th.  Make sure not to miss it!
