The Buncombe County Public Library System wants to encourage continued literacy for youth throughout their summer vacation with the Summer Reading Program.
The theme for the 2019 Summer Reading Program is “A Universe of Stories,” celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Fun space-themed events are taking place at all the branch libraries throughout the entire summer.
Participants of these events will receive a stamp for their Summer Reading Bookmark. Each branch will have its own bookmark featuring all of the fun programs taking place at that library location throughout the summer. For every four stamps that a child gets, they may choose a free book from a special selection of prize books chosen by the Youth Services librarians. You can even pick up a book on anti-gravity – they’re impossible to put down.
Check out a list of the schedule of events (there are dozens!) at buncombecounty.org/common/library/SRP19June.pdf, where you’ll find events for both young children and teenagers alike.
So, keep reading, and keep visiting the library. Keep track of all the great programs taking place at each branch library throughout the year by checking out their calendar at buncombecounty.org/library.
