Winter activities for young people are heating up in February! Children’s Librarian Cynthia Horn has three activities planned for the upcoming weeks at the library! Storytime will also resume in March!
Beginning Jan. 25, young people in grades four through eight can participate in “Read Your Way Across the USA” which is a cumulative program featuring book selections from all 50 states. After completing a registration form, participants read and complete the program at their own pace with no set deadline. When they have completed the program, they receive a prize.
For children up through second grade, there will be a Valentine prize search during library hours from Feb. 1-13, with one prize per child.
Monday, Feb. 15 through March 31 will feature “Read Across America” and the library’s Dr. Seuss collection. Children up through third grade can participate, including a reading and coloring contest with prizes. For each set of four Dr. Seuss books completed, the children will receive a prize. Those who complete 12 Dr. Seuss books will be entered in the grand prize drawing for a Seuss basket.
Thanks to the Alliance Public Library Foundation for the great prizes!
