Can you think of anywhere more fun to “bee” than at the library this  summer?

To get started in the summer reading program, you have to read two books first! Then, beginning July 7, we’ll be trying to  “catch the reading bug” at the Hall    Memorial Library so “swarm” on over and  register.

“Tick” off the number of books you read while participating in the     summer reading program and earn prizes along the way.

“Fly” on over to the craft table.  There will be a different project to “buzz” over each week.

So...bring mom or dad, uncle or “ant” and  stop in this summer.  We think you’ll have a “mite”-y fun time!

Get Your Bug Bait! We want you to “catch the reading bug” this summer and we’ll do everything we can to help!  To catch bugs, you need “bug bait” and we’ll supply that each time: ...you checkout books to read at home ...each week you complete a craft at the craft table ...each time you come to a special event—like a magic show After collecting 5, you can trade them in for a prize!
