BLAINE, Minn. – (May 24, 2018) – Anoka County Library starts their Summer at Your Library reading program on June 1. Whether it’s an eBook, audiobook, or paper copy, the library has plenty of options for kids to read starting in June and ending on Aug. 18. There will also be more than 100 programs for kids of all ages to inspire reading and learning all summer long.
“Anoka County Libraries are vibrant places serving diverse patrons,” Maggie Snow, the library director, said. “Our summer library programming reflects this diversity, offering children and teens opportunities to learn, grow, and explore throughout the summer.”
With hands on projects exploring the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics field, musical acts, and jugglers, the library is offering a variety of summer activities for kids and families.
Families can come see engaging musical shows featuring Jack & Kitty or The Jolly Pops. Comic jugglers Alan Johnson or Sean Emery and yo-yo master Dazzling Dave will keep kids laughing and engaged with their performances. All the performances are free and open to the public, but seating is limited.
Kids have a chance to win a free book in the library’s Read, Write, Draw program by writing or drawing a review of their favorite book. Kids and teens alike also have the chance to win tickets to Bunker Beach, Twins games, the Crayola Experience, Sea Life at the Mall of America, or the Minnesota State Fair through the Read it! Rate It! contest.
Most programs are held at Anoka County libraries, but other locations include Blaine High School and Bunker Hills Activity Center. Registration is now open. To find all events, visit anokacountylibrary.org or pick up a schedule at your local library.
