Catch the Reading Bug at your library

The Bremen Library will have a summer reading program with bugs as the theme. The sign up / kick off event will be held July 9 at 10:30 am. Bring in your kids to sign up and have some fun. They will receive logs to track the time spent reading. Younger children can participate too - just track the time spent reading to them. When they sign up the participants will decide how much reading they will do during the summer. They can sign up anytime after July 7th if they can't make it to the kick off event.There will be programs with crafts, and story time for younger children with several special events scheduled.
On Friday July 18th Herring Gut Learning Center will present a program about tidal pools with a touch tank with creatures found in tidal pools for the children to examine. Since Bremen is a coastal town this program will show kids and their parents what to look for as they explore the shores along the ocean.
On Wednesday July 30, author Louise Bernstone will read from her book for children. After the reading there will be a bug safari as the kids go outside and see what insects they find in the grass outside the library.
Louise will return on August 6 with a reading of her newly published book. This will be the wrap up event of the program with certificates and rewards for those who were able to complete the reading they had contracted to do.
