Registration is Now Open for the Summer Reading Program

It’s that time of year again - time to register for our Summer Reading Program!
The New Glarus Public Library’s Summer Reading Program is open to children birth through 12th grade who live in New Glarus and the surrounding area, or who are visiting for the summer.  Registration is free, and you do not need a library card to participate.
You may sign up using our online form at http://newglaruspubliclibrary.us4.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=250c323..., or in person at the library.  Please note that even if you register online, you will still need to come to the library to pick up your reading log.
Read-to-Me Program (birth through age 5):  Eight books per week.
On Your Mark, Get Set...READ! (elementary level):  Two hours per week.
Get In The Game - READ! (middle and high school level): Three hours per week.
ALL READING COUNTS!  Whether you’re reading a book, magazine, or newspaper, listening to an audiobook, or using an e-reader, it all counts as time read on your reading log.  Older children should also count time spent reading aloud to younger siblings.
For each week of reading that your child completes on time, he or she will receive an entry for our weekly t-shirt drawing.
Every child who completes at least six weeks of reading will earn a book to keep and one to donate to the library.
Children who complete all nine weeks of reading will be entered into a grand prize drawing for either a Leap Pad Ultra (preschool level) or a Kindle Fire HD7 tablet (elementary and teen levels).
See your reading log for more prize details.
All of our summer events are free and open to the public.  You do not need to be registered for the Summer Reading Program in order to attend.
By popular demand, we will now be offering summer sessions of Preschool Story Time.  Join Miss Ignacia on the first Tuesday of each month at 3:00 p.m., for stories, songs, and crafts.
Friday morning Story Times will return in September.
