Summer Reading Program (June Newsletter)

School is out, the weather is hot, and starting June 16, 9:30AM at the Kingsland Library— summer is here! Join us for Texas Reading Club 2010, Catch the Reading Express! The program lasts for five weeks and is completely free to children in grades Pre-K thru 6th while space is available.
Parents should pre-register their children for the program as soon as possible to ensure their child/children is/are able to participate. Complete registration packets with information and pre-numbered nametags will be available at the circulation desk of the KLB. If packets are not available when you come in to register, spots may be reserved on the pre-registration list and you will be contacted to pick up your packet(s) when they are ready.
New this year… reading tickets!!! Instead of keeping a reading log, TRC participants will earn one ticket for every ten minutes they read or are read to; these tickets may be placed in various drawings for a chance to win some really cool prizes! The more one reads, the more chances one earns! Prizes will still be given out to everyone who participates in the TRC program and special awards will be given to individuals who read the most minutes and to the age group who reads the most overall.
