Lied Scottsbluff Public Library kicks off Summer Reading Program

Deb Carlson, Children's Librarian at the Lied Scottsbluff Public Library joins Kevin Mooney on KNEB's News Extra program Monday morning to promote the library's Children's Summer Reading Program.

The Lied Scottsbluff Public Library is inviting area children to participate in the 2014 FIZZ, BOOM, READ! summer program.  Boys and girls may register on Tuesday, June 3rd anytime between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the library.  The program is for children from infants through the sixth grade.  Registration will continue throughout the summer for those unable to sign up on June 3rd. 

Weekly events kicked off  in the Library Park Monday, June 9, with a science demonstration from the Edgerton Explorit Center in Aurora, NE. 

Other programs will include a movie party at the Midwest Theater, a Mad About Science morning at the library park, natural science fun at the Riverside Discovery Center and a Lego Club building event.

Children who read 20 books can choose between two dates for the Splash Bash pool party at the Westmoor Pool. The library will also show cartoons and short films on Thursday mornings at 10 a.m. in the library meeting room. 

Although everyone is invited to come to the weekly programs, attendance is not required and readers can return books they have read and receive credit during regular library hours. 

The reading program will conclude with a Magic Show & Big-Bang Wrap-Up Celebration at the Midwest Theater on Tuesday evening, July 22.  Geoffrey Thompson, an award-winning magician from Cheyenne, WY, will present a magic show which will be a blast for the whole family. Following the show, prize winners for summer activities will be drawn and every child will get a science souvenir of the FIZZ, BOOM, READ! Summer Reading Program. No reading requirement is necessary, admission is free and the community is invited to attend.
