School is about to let out which means the Everett Roehl Marshfield Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program is about to begin. This year’s theme is A Universe of Stories. The Summer Library Program will begin on Monday, June 10th and will continue through Saturday, August 17th. All the programs are family friendly and absolutely FREE!
SUMMER READING CHALLENGE
Registration begins Monday, June 10
This 8-week reading incentive program requires each child that registers to complete a certain number of reading challenges based on their age/grade level. The 8-weeks of the challenge is divided into 4 two-week sections. When a child completes their section they will get a prize. If a child completes all 4 sections, they will earn a free book. Also, when a child completes a section they will receive a raffle ticket to enter into one of the several prize drawings.
