Library Summer 21 Summer Reading Program Enjoy summer at the Clearwater Public Library System. The library has planned a variety of free programs featuring technology, music, art and reading to keep children active, engaged and learning. On June 5, registration for the “Build a Better World Reading Challenge” will begin at all Clearwater Public Library System locations. Participants will receive a reading log to record the days that they read. On their next visit to the library, participants can show their reading progress to a librarian to earn a token for a reward from the prize machine. Readers can also submit an entry ticket for a chance to win a summer raffle gift basket. The library is delighted to announce a new and exciting family reading challenge this year. Children reading with their families, caregivers and friends can earn a sticker to place on the library’s “Build a Better World” wall. When the library reaches its community goal, it will purchase a goat and two chickens to benefit a family in need somewhere in the world through the global organization World Vision. The Family Reading Club is a fun way to work together, to “pay it forward” and teach children that small actions can make large impacts for others. The Online Summer Reading Club is returning this summer, allowing participants to track their reading and earn entry to games, badges and coupons to attractions and other services in Clearwater. The library is continuing its partnership with the Tampa Bay Rays’ “Reading with the Rays” program this summer. Readers can earn baseball-themed prizes and a ticket to a Rays game. Children are encouraged to participate in as many reading challenges as they like. Teens and adults are encouraged to participate in summer reading programs designed just for them. The Online Teen Reading Club, accessed from the library system’s website at myclearwaterlibrary. com, calls for teens to submit book reviews to earn prizes and be entered into a gift card raffle. Adults are also invited to participate in an online book review club. Beginning June 5, every review submitted will be entered into an end-of-summer drawing for a book bag full of reading prizes. This summer, the Clearwater Main Library will be a designated “Summer Break Spot.” The library is excited to partner with the Juvenile Welfare Board to offer free lunch meals along with literacy activities for children under age 18 every weekday from June through August. Studies show that summer reading and healthy nutrition help prepare children to start the new school year ready to learn.
