Be Creative! Summer Fun

School is out, the days are warm - Summer Reading and Summer Celebration at the library are upon us!  One of the biggest, most time-consuming, and most rewarding and fun activities that the library does is happening next Friday, June 5th.  Hutchinson Public Library's Summer Celebration happens from 9am to 11:30am on that day.  We use this big launch party each year to get kids excited about reading during the summer.  Our goal is to keep children interested in reading during summer vacation.  Our theme this year is "Be Creative" at  the Hutchinson Public Library.  We're going to feature a wide variety of arts at the Celebration and throughout the summer programming.  We are even creating an art car for the library to enter into the Hutchfest parade!
The Summer Reading programs are recommended for children ages 3-8.  In July we will also have Family Times twice each week with fun for the whole family.  Please check out what is available - and it is all free!

We also have a program set up for young adults - May 26th through July 30th.  Prizes and fun for tweens and teens when they come in and sign up.
Did you know that there is also a summer reading program for adults?  This summer we will be encouraging grown-ups to "Master the Art of Reading".  Adults can sign up to read and become eligible for fun prizes.

I feel tired just reading back over this list of activity!  But it is a good tired because I know that what we are trying to do here is emphasize the fun of reading, even if you might accidentally learn something new or improve your skills in the process!
