From WOOD COUNTY DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY
Explore a Universe of Stories this summer with the Wood County District Public Library Children’s Place! Registration for the Youth Summer Reading Program, “A Universe of Stories,” begins Friday, May 31st. The Summer Reading Program will blast off with a Moon Bounce in the Library Atrium on Friday, May 31st, between 1 and 5 p.m.
Registration for the Youth Summer Reading Program continues throughout the summer. Each youth participant will receive a free one-day pool pass to the BG City Pool and Waterpark upon registration as well as a one-day pass to the Wood County Fair toward the end of summer.
Reading minutes can be recorded in the Children’s Place “Mission Control,” or online at wcdpl.readsquared.com. Incentive prizes and coupons from local businesses will be awarded at various levels as readers rocket through the solar system. A final end of summer raffle will include all registered readers with more chances to win to those with more minutes. The Children’s Place is challenging everyone to begin as soon as possible and consider completing a reading log that will take them from Mercury to Neptune, and beyond.
