From CADL Stockbridge
Summer Reading Challenge begins at the library
by Head Librarian Sherri McConnell
Library staff look forward to summer, and not just because we can stop wearing our cardigans.
It is time for the Summer Reading Challenge, when everyone from babies to adults can earn points by reading and doing fun stuff to win prizes. Register for the challenge at cadl.org/summer or at the library. Look for us on the Square June 15 during A Day in the Village for more information and summer fun.
The theme this year is Adventure Begins at Your Library. The adventure is waiting in our summer series Wednesday Wonders, our weekly science and art activities, as well as within the many books on our shelves.
We kick off Summer Reading on June 8 with toy car painting from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., while supplies last, and a visit from K-9 Officer Mohawk and Officer Smith of the Stockbridge Police Department from 1-2 p.m.
The Wednesday Wonders series starts on June 12 at 10:30 a.m. with P.O.P., the Pollinator Outreach Program. Staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will talk about endangered butterflies and bees in our area.
On June 26 at 10:30 a.m., we will get a visit from the Zoo in Your Neighborhood program. There are no live animals, but we will hear stories about Michigan animals and have the opportunity to feel pelts and other items.
We hope to see you soon at the library and let the adventure begin! Capital Area District Libraries’ Stockbridge Branch is located at 200 Wood St. For more information, call 517-851-7810 or visit cadl.org.
