Summer Reading Programs

I'd like to take credit for all these great resources but, they are from Vegasparent.com newsletter. Isn't the internet a wonderful thing!

Henderson Libraries are looking for a few good bookworms to “Catch the Reading Bug” as the 2008 Summer Reading Program begins Saturday, June 14. The Libraries’ annual program offers incentives for children reading independently and those who are read-to by adults. Additionally, the libraries offer “Metamorphosis @ Your Library” for teens and “Don’t Bug Me, I’m Reading” for adults.

The Summer Reading Program lasts from June 14 through August 9 and library events are planned all summer long including a special kick-off event with a “Bounce House,” and several children’s activities at 9 a.m. on June 14 at the Paseo Verde (280 S. Green Valley Parkway) and at 12 p.m. at the James I. Gibson (280 S. Water Street) branches of the library. A similar event is planned at 2 p.m. at the Lydia Malcolm branch – located at 2960 Sunridge Heights Parkway – on June 13.


Las Vegas-Clark County Library District Summer Reading 2008, Club Read! June 1-July 31 is the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District's Summer Reading Program. Visit their website for more details.

The Barnes & Noble Summer Reading Program has also begun. Children entering grades 1-6 can participate in this program.
1. Kids read any 8 books. 2. Kids use the Summer Reading Journal to tell us their favorite part of each book. A parent/guardian signs it when it's complete. 3. Children bring their completed journal to a Barnes & Noble store between May 29th & September 2nd, 2008. 4. We'll give them a coupon for a FREE book! They choose from a list of exceptional paperback titles.

Make sure you check out our Children's Book Reviews...you can sort by type, category or age and can read both an overview and critique of all the books. You may get some great ideas for titles and authors you would like your kids to read!
