The 2010 Summer Reading Program is entitled, “Reading is a Thrill.”  It is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.  Andrea Driesse, Children’s Library Assistant, is leading the program with the assistance of the rest of the Lincoln Park Public Library staff.

“Reading is a Thrill” starts with a Pizza Party on June 30th at 12:00 pm (Noon).  Each participating child will receive a reading chart and a bag of goodies at this event.
Children should come in once a week to record on their High Sticker Chart how many books (3 to 7 year olds) or chapters (8 year olds and older) they have read the previous week.  Children may come in anytime Monday thru Thursday 11:00am to 8:00 pm.

Each week participating children will receive a ticket for a chance to win a prize.  There will be two winners selected each week and they will be notified via telephone on Friday.

Besides the Pizza Party there are many other special events scheduled:

A word to the parents – reading over the summer helps children maintain the skills developed during the school year without the constraints of “must” reading.  It gives them a chance to explore personal interests through recreational, “fun” reading.  So pop open a good book this summer!
