Summer Reading is Coming Soon!



Calling all readers, age 5 to 12!  Join us for our Summer Reading program from June 26th through July 31. We have some fun plans to turn YOU into a Reading Hero this year:

  • Keep track of the time you spend reading for chances to win fun prizes, like tickets to Sahara Sam's, Clementon Park, the Philadelphia Zoo and more.  The more you read, the more chances you get to win.  We will choose a name EVERY WEEK!
  • Fridays are HERO days, as we have special heroic activities from 11AM to 12:30PM. Themes include: Superhero Training Camp, Wildlife/Environmental Heroes, Real-Life Heroes, Heroes for my Country, and the Hero in All of Us.
  • Monday Evening Movie Features: Bring your sleeping bag, pillow and even come in your PJs and sack out on our floor for a Superhero Movie of the Week. (Note for Parents: depending on the interest we receive, we are planning to show G or PG movies, such as Megamind, Despicable Me, The Incredibles, G-Force, Sky High, Sky Kids, Fantastic Four, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (original--1990).
Stop in all month to tell us about your reading and see what contests we may have going on. Capture supervillains on the loose in the library, or show us superhero trivia knowledge.
