Snake Valley Summer Reading Program

 The Snake Valley Summer Reading Program is about to kick off, with the first session on Tuesday, June 25 at 7 pm (NV) at the Baker Community Center. This is a new program to encourage kids to keep reading throughout the summer to avoid the summer brain drain.

We've partnered with White Pine County Library's summer reading program, so young readers (ages 2-10) will receive a free book for participating. Also, the top weekly reader in each age group (ages 2-4, 5-7, and 8-10) will have their name entered in the final raffle prize drawing, to be held August 9 at the Library.

Since it's hard for a lot of people in Snake Valley to get to the WPC Library on a regular basis, we've asked for donations and have had over 200 books donated to form our own lending library. We're very excited about this opportunity for kids to be able to check out books on a weekly basis. Thanks so much to all the donors! (And we're still accepting books if you have any you'd like to go to a good cause.)

Our Tuesday reading programs will consist of story time, with different readers each week, followed by checking out books, a little one-on-one reading time for anyone who would like it, and then playground time. This is going to be a fun reading program!
Come check it out!
