COMING SOON:  SUMMER READING @ Tye Preston Memorial Library!

Jo Johnstone, Youth Services Coordinator

This is a great opportunity to READ! READ! READ! and enjoy free entertainment, food, fun, prizes, and incentives to keep reading during the long, hot summer days.  This year’s theme is “Texas Reading Club Jubilee: 1958 – 2008” celebrating fifty years of the Summer Reading Club in Texas libraries.  The program is open to children 3 to 12 years and runs 6 weeks beginning with our Opening Day Registration and Carnival, Wednesday, June 4th at 10:00 a.m.  We’ll have a Moon Bounce, lots of carnival games, snow cones, popcorn and much more.  Don’t miss the entertaining programs and raffles every Wednesday at 10am. And, back by popular demand:  our “Blue Light Specials”! Any time a specially marked book is checked out, some lucky reader will win a free candy bar or soda. At our Grand Finale Program, July 9, we will award twelve bicycles and other prizes to our top readers.

We salute our many sponsors for this program:  Pilot Club of Canyon Lake, Wal-Mart, Dollar General, Colonial Manor, Pedernales Electric, Sac N Pac, Wells Fargo, Domino’s Pizza, Dairy Queen, McDonalds, Chick-Fil-A ,and Canyon Lake Ace Hardware. 

TEENS!!!  This July, we will begin our first Teens Read program.  The four weekly programs will be on Thursdays from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. beginning on July 17.   We’ll start with food while teens are encouraged to share information about favorite books.  There will be a speaker, or games, and drawings for prizes each week.
