Manchester City Library

This year’s Summer Reading Program is called “G’Day for Reading” begins on Monday, June 30. It will run for six weeks, and finish up on Friday, August 8th. It is for children in grades K-5, but we encourage those younger to sign up as well.

Once they sign up at the library, they have to read 10 books during those six weeks. They can read more if they want. Out of those 10 books, they have to tell about 4 of them to one of our volunteers during sharing time. Sharing Times are M-Tu-Thurs from 9:30-7:30 and Wed & Fri from 9:30-4:30. After each sharing, they will get a prize. After reading the 10 books, they will earn a free book and an invite to the finale program on Thursday, August 14.

There are other programs going on as well.
