Lewiston Public Library’s summer reading program is scheduled to run from Monday, June 26, to Friday, Aug. 18.
The library will have free, public events, performers and programs for children, teens, and adults throughout the summer at 200 Lisbon St.
The library also plans to release a new summer reading logo with the theme of Read, Make and Explore. This logo will be used every year to make all of the library’s summer reading activities and programs immediately recognizable. The staff encourages participants not only to read or listen to books but also make a new craft or recipe or explore a favorite place in the city or a new landmark in the state, according to a news release from Ben Heels, library assistant.
For the program, all ages will use a bookmark to track reading and activities for free books and prizes. They can pick up a bookmark at the library, complete the activities listed, and turn it in at the library to be entered into the end-of-summer prize drawings. Children and teens will also get to choose a free book to keep for every reading bookmark completed.
All ages can complete as many reading bookmarks as they wish throughout the summer reading program. The first 25 participants of each age group to turn in a completed bookmark will also receive a free T-shirt with the new logo. Bookmarks are available starting Friday, June 23.
Admission is free to all summer reading events; no library card is required to participate in the reading programs. Prizes must be picked up at the library.
