Join us this summer as we celebrate libraries and literacy.
Our summer reading program is a great way to keep your little one engaged throughout the summer with reading and learning. No summer slide here.
Did you know that summer slide is what happens when the skills students learn during the school year are lost or forgotten over the summer? When kids don’t practice their reading skills during the summer months, they can fall behind by the time school starts again. We have the solution.
Spend your summer visiting the library. Ask one of our fabulous librarians for help picking the right book for your child and encourage them to read in a fun and engaging way! Children read, log their reading time, and win prizes for reading. It's that simple.
This year we will be hosting live programs once again! Programs will be held at the Crowley Recreation Center, located at 405 S. Oak St. (next door to the library). Programs are on Wednesdays at 10 a.m.
Children will continue to read and log their reading time online. SRP prizes may be picked up in the library during normal business hours beginning Thursday, June 5. (On Wednesdays, SRP prizes will not be available for pickup in the library until after 2 p.m.)
Please contact the library at 817-297-6707 for more information.

Guidelines
There are guidelines that must be followed in order to ensure a fun and fair program for all:
-
All participants must register on Beanstack. Registration begins May 20.
-
Once the participant has registered online, they will be able to log into Beanstack and start recording time spent reading on May 26.
-
All reading counts. It doesn't matter if they are reading a book, listening to an audiobook, or reading the back of a cereal box. It counts! Science has proven that kids read better and more often when they can pick what they want to read.
-
The online program will notify participants when they are eligible for a prize. Starting Thursday, June 5, participants may collect prizes anytime during normal business hours.
