Children can read on the wild side with Tails & Tales summer reading program

From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY

Children can learn about the wild side of reading with the Wood County District Public Library’s Youth Summer Reading Program, Tails & Tales, this summer. Registration for WCDPL’s Summer Reading Program begins Friday, June 4 at Walbridge, and Friday, June 11 at Bowling Green. As a new perk this summer, readers will receive a gift book from the Estate of Marjorie Conrad upon registration to the program.

Youth can register and record their reading progress by visiting wcdpl.readsquared.com or by visiting the Children’s Place. Readers will earn prizes as they report minutes read or missions accomplished. Final raffle prize winners will be chosen in August. 

Additionally, youth ages 11 and older are encouraged to apply to join WCDPL’s Virtual Volunteens. This program allows teen and preteen helpers to remain connected with each other and their library while remaining safe and physically distant. Volunteens will be assisting in projects as part of the Summer Reading Program, including helping with some outdoor, in-person programming as students are comfortable doing. To learn more about Virtual Volunteens, visit wcdpl.org/teens-can-volunteen-wcdpl.
