Hang on to your seats...It's time for SUMMER READING!!!

     First, we miss all you all so much! We miss having you in the library, we miss having you here for story times and our programs and activities, and we cannot wait to have you back. Now I don't know about y'all, but this is one of my favorite times of year because there is always something going on at the library, especially with our Portneuf Library Summer Reading Adventure.

     This year is going to look rather different so that we can comply with what the Health Department has determined will help us keep you and our employees safe. We will not have our Friday parties, our in house activities, or the Lava Passes. BUT! our summer program will be longer since it will end the 21st of August instead of the end of July.  We will still have programs for all ages, and there will be some amazing prizes.

  This year we are also moving to a partially digital format so you will have the option to use either www.portneuflibrary.readsquared.com or to use a paper which has been the traditional means of tracking your reading. 

    If you choose to go digital and not keep track of papers, you can register as an individual or as a family this way AND you can log your hours through the program. When you reach 500 points you can come in to the library for a treat. When you complete the program with 1000 points you can come in to the library to claim your completion prize.

     If you choose to continue to use our paper reading logs, that's fine too! Finishing one side will get you a treat and finishing both sides will get you a treat AND a prize.
     
Now for our programs: we will have two days a week when you can come and pick up some activities to take home with you. All of these activities are first come first serve and there will only be kits for the first 200 participants. On Tuesdays between 12-2 you can come in and grab a Grab-n-Go STEM activity and on Thursdays between 12 and 2 you can come pick up a Grab-n-Go ART activity.

We are so excited to see all of you again! We miss you and are so excited to find new ways to support our community during this odd time.
