West Bonner Libraries hosting summer reading fun

Prepare to rock out at your West Bonner Libraries. This years Summer Reading theme is “Libraries Rock!” and organizers promise lots of fun with rock art, geology and music for kids grades K-6. Summer Reading has returned to Blanchard with a three-day program on June 19-21. Beginning on June 26, Blanchard Summer Story Time for preschoolers will be held on Tuesdays at 10:30.

The Priest River Library will host summer reading on Wednesdays beginning June 27 and continuing through August 1, with the exception of July 4. Everyone is invited to the Libraries Rock! wrap-up party on Aug. 1. Summer Story Time will be held at its usual time on Thursdays at 10:30 a.m.

Teens will have a chance to win a $25 Visa gift card playing young adult summer reading book bingo. The challenge is open to young adults grades 7-12. Books must be read between June 1 and July 30, and the grand prize drawing will be held at the Summer Reading wrap-up party on August 1. Bingo cards are available at the Priest River and Blanchard libraries.

The Great Reading Adventure, the library’s online summer reading program, will be live through August. Register, create an avatar, participate in challenges and earn badges and prizes. Join the fun at http://prl.northwestreads.org/.
