What is this years program?

The staff of the Olney Public Library is busy planning activities for their summer reading program– “Reading Colors Your World!” The program will include story times on Wednesday afternoons at 2:00pm, reading challenges, crafts, professional performers, and more.  This year we will alternate each week with a take home craft or take-home story.  This means that kiddos will be taking home crafts and books of their own to keep this year depending on the week!

The story time sessions are divided into three different age groups for stories and crafts. They are toddler-preschool, kindergarten-second grade, and third grade-seventh grade.

Young adults and adults are going to be challenged to read this summer with a Book Bingo contest. Game cards may be picked up at the library starting May 24th.  Participants in these contests will have a chance to win great prizes and gift cards.

Registration for the children’s reading challenge begins Monday, May 24th. You will need to pick up reading logs and information sheets when
you register at the library.  Our program will kick off Wednesday, June 2nd at 2:00pm with our first story time and take-home crafts!
