Summer is here! We are thrilled at the library to be able to offer you and your families a wide range of children and youth programming. The introduction of the King Township Public Library’s Summer Programme listing was released early June and the community response has been incredible. There are over 24 programmes offered throughout all four of your library branches, ranging in age from the very young to 16 years.

The Summer Reading Club is an all time favourite! This year’s theme is Agent 009. All ages can join this amazing programme at any of the King Township Public Library’s branches, starting June 22 and ending August 21st. The participants will receive a poster, magazine and stickers, all free!
The children keep track of the
books they read and for every book
they will receive one ballot. The
ballots are entered into a draw that
will run on a bi-weekly basis
throughout the summer months.
There is also a Grand Prize to be
drawn for at the end of the summer.
The Grand prizes this year are free
tickets to the Toronto Zoo and The
Royal Ontario Museum. The prizes
act as incentives to continue reading
throughout the summer months
either as a family or on one’s own.

The library prides itself on literacy
based programming. All of our
events encourage a love of reading
by using fun and inventive concepts
for your children to enjoy. There are some “oldies” returning this year, the Parachute Club, Movie Fridays, Red Cross Babysitting Course, Preschool Story Hour and Born to Read. New to this year are; Preschool aged weekly Summer Reading Club meetings, Sheltoons Cartooning Workshops,
Sewing Camp, Sewing Classes,
Computer Camp, Make a Friendship
Bracelet, and Summer Fun Saturdays. For further information about registration, please visit the library’s Online Community Calendar found on the library’s website along with the “Summer Programmes 2009” brochure
www.king-library.on.ca See you there!

A big THANK YOU to TD Canada Trust for the sponsorship of the posters, magazines and stickers, to the Toronto Zoo and the Royal Ontario Museum for making this year’s Summer Reading Club so memorable.
