Summer Reading Program Kicks Off with Music and Magic

5/26/2017

 
Sedona Public Library is about to launch its annual summer reading program.  We will offer the traditional reading and literacy-based programs for youth of all ages, along with eight weeks of library activities that are fun and educational. This summer’s range of activities will include hands-on, informal learning opportunities to keep young brains and bodies engaged. Many of the events will focus on this year’s summer reading program theme, Build a Better World.
​
How does the summer reading program work?
 
  • From Saturday, June 3, through Saturday, July 29, keep track of the amount of time that you spend reading or being read to, and record secret codes announced during library programs.
  • You can choose to record time and codes online, by clicking the Summer Reading button on the Sedona Library home page.  Online games, badges, and book lists are unlocked as you record.
  • You can choose to record time and codes offline, using a hard-copy game board and stickers that can be picked up at the main library or at Sedona Library in the Village.
  • Or you can choose to do both!
  • The more you read and participate in library activities, the more prizes you receive.  A drawing for donated prizes will take place at the Juggle and Jiggle event on Saturday, July 29.  Drawing winners will be contacted and will have until August 31 to pick up their prizes.
Our first summer program happens on Thursday, June 1, at 10:30 a.m. and features a music and dance party led by Annette Foldes.  Annette has been bringing the joy of music to our story time gatherings on the first Thursday of every month for many years, and on June 1, we will go big! Everyone is invited to join in the fun as we sing, dance, and build a better world through music in the community room.

The summer reading program kick-off event happens on Saturday, June 3, from 1 to 2 p.m., when award-winning magician Eric Giliam will bring his popular, all-ages show to the Library. During the show, you will see several magic routines performed that are not seen in any other show. Several acts stress the importance of reading and recycling. This special performance will reveal to the audience that not everything seen can be explained!  If you have not signed up for the summer reading program already, teens will be available to help with registration after the magic show.

In addition to the scheduled events, there will be ongoing activities all summer long. On a daily basis, a youth services librarian will be ready to help answer questions and find the best books in various formats.  Children and teens are welcome to use chess boards, science kits, board games, and iPads for Scratch Junior computer coding.  In the children’s room, the art table is a place where children can create and let their imagination soar.  Parents, grandparents, children, and teens can come to the Library to rediscover favorites or find out about something new.

The June and July calendar of events is available to pick up at the Library or can be viewed from the Events menu or button on our website.

Sedona Public Library is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, partially supported by the City of Sedona and Yavapai and Coconino Counties. We also require donations and grants to fund our operations. Your tax-deductible donation may be sent to: Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road, Sedona, AZ 86336.
