bug reading on raft Children's Summer Reading Club
June 16-July 26 (Age 3 through 5th grade)

This year's theme: "Catch the reading bug @ the Glendora Library"

The Glendora Public Library and the Friends Foundation are proud to sponsor the Children's Summer Reading Club. Through the generous donations of Glendora and the surrounding communities, we are able to provide these events and all reading incentives FREE to the public. If you would like to sponsor these and other library programs, ask a librarian or call (626) 852-4891.

The Glendora Public Library Summer Reading Club is designed to encourage children to continue reading, attend fun programs and visit the library during the summer. The Club has many great, free activities planned for kids from age three up through 5th grade. (Children from infancy to age three are encouraged to join the Baby Bugs Summer Reading Club. Children entering 6th grade and higher are invited to join the Teen Reading Club). An incentive is given out each week to children if they have been reading regularly.

The Summer Reading Club runs for six weeks, from Monday, June 16 through Saturday, July 26. Registration, at which your child will pick out a free book and receive reporting guidelines, will begin the week of June 16, but you can sign up any time through the end of the program. All reporting will take place in the children's room at the library.

Volunteers

If your child wants to be a volunteer for the Club, and is between the ages of 10 and 18, pick up an application in the children's room. Applications are being accepted now until all summer time slots are filled. Volunteers generally work one day per week, for a one or two hour shift, assisting the children who are reporting on the reading they did, giving out prizes, re-shelving books, helping with events and special programs, etc. If you have already signed up, you must attend one of these orientation sessions with one of your parents.
