FEATURING THIS MONTH

Attention All Teachers: 

Please help advertise and support our annual Summer Reading Program which begins on Monday, June 25th and runs through Friday, August 17th.

This summer’s theme, “Dream Big – Read!”  Is about all things nocturnal – dreams, lullabies and bedtime stories, gazing at the stars, telling stories around the campfire, bats, owls, and other nocturnal animals; and people who work at night too.

Children may pick up their “Dream Big-Read” packet starting on June 25th.  For every four (4) hours of reading, the child may select a small prize, a free book, or a chance to enter into a drawing for a larger prize.  The more they read, the more prizes they earn!

Suggested reading lists will be provided throughout the summer. 

 

Library Cards for Media Specialists

All cards issued to Burlington County teachers and media specialists will expire on June 30, 2010. Beginning September 2010 we will be issuing (or renewing) media specialist cards ONLY and teacher cards will no longer be offered. Application packets will be sent out in August to all media specialists. Please call the library for more information
