This summer we are trying out a pilot of a fantastic new summer program for kids and families called "Winooski Read & Rove Summer Challenge." The goal of this program is to provide a fun way for kids and families to engage in reading and get outside to participate in community activities.
Unlike a traditional summer reading program, there are many options to earn "points," including visiting community parks and landmarks, swimming at the pool, attending a community potluck, posting to Front Porch Forum, and of course reading in many different forms! Completing activities and earning points allows participants to enter to win great prizes!
We have had many wonderful prizes donated from these local businesses: Quiznos, Peking Duck House, The Woolen Mill Health Club, Asian Bistro, Papa Franks, Vermont Lake Monsters, and the Physician's Computer Company.
Come to the library after June 1 to pick up a scorecard for your family, and spread the word to friends and neighbors! The scorecard can also be downloaded from the library's page at www.onioncity.com
Check our blog or facebook page each week for bonus activities!
