Programs & Activities
Groups will meet by grade-going-into at different times each week at the Library, and *special* community programs will be held for everyone Thursdays at 2, at the Brundidge Station/Senior Center (unless otherwise posted). Regular programs usually involve a craft, story time, activities, and a snack. Community programs usually have an entertainer come and perform. 
Reader Groups
Each child will read and compete by Reader Group (instead of grade level) to earn prizes. The reader groups are independent readers (suggested for Grades 7th - 12th / Ages 12 - 18), early readers (suggested for Grades 2nd - 6th / Ages 7 - 11), or family readers (suggested for Grades Pre-K - 1st / Ages 3 - 6), depending on their age and reading level (see full descriptions under registration).

Studies show that for reading success to happen, access to books is critical.
The public library is an excellent free resource for families to access books of a wide range of interests and reading levels, as well as a place where librarians can assist children and families in selecting great books.
We especially encourage reading for fun during the summer months and don't stress AR points or levels so much as interest in a topic or theme.
Children who see reading as a treat and not a chore will feel more inclined to explore the shelves, searching for their next favorite book. The library cares about your children and has planned programs to keep them reading and learning all summer.  
​While keeping track of the amount of time they spend reading or the number of books they have read this summer, children who join the summer reading program keep their minds active and enter school in the fall ready to learn and ready to succeed.

• Children are encouraged so that reading becomes a lifelong habit.
• Children who are reluctant to read can be drawn in by the activities.
• Reading over the summer helps children keep their skills up.
• The Summer Reading Program can help generate interest in the library and books.

 
Thank you for allowing your children to attend the Summer Reading Program!
Our goal is to keep the minds of the children active through the summer and to encourage a love of reading (fun is also important).
