Summer Reading Club 2010

Important Dates:
March 29 - April 9 Applications for Middle School Volunteers accepted (flyers have gone out so we might get some calls regarding this, please let parents know that volunteer registration starts 3/29)
May 10 - June 21 Pre-registration period
June 21 - August 14 Official start and end of SRC
Ann and Nancy are working on getting together the volunteer registration packets. These will be ready before 3/29.

There will be 3 levels of participation
Birth-5 years old (Read to me club)
Grades K-5 (Elementary)
Grades 6-12 (Teens)

SRC stuff to know:
* Theme: Make a Splash - READ! (Preschool and Elementary). Make Waves @ Your Library (Middle and High School).
* We will have gameboards for the birth-5 years old and grades k-5.
* We will have online registration again, but for the birth-5 years old and grades k-5groups they only need to register online once. They do not need a username and password to participate in this years SRC. Once they register online, they can either download the gameboard and print it out or come into the library to pick up their gameboard. For every 5 activities they complete they get a sticker. When they complete all their activities (20) they can get one completion prize.
* In contrast, Teens will be doing everything online, so they will need to keep track of their username and password. Teens need to print out their completed log and bring it into the branch to receive their completion prize (need to complete 20 hrs reading/activities/volunteering in the community).
* We will have crafts again this year. For preschool and elementary we will have four different crafts available throughout the summer. Craft programs for the Teens have been centrally planned and can be found in the Teens program guide which will be forthcoming.
* There will be no drawings of any kind this year.

Thanks
