| June 17, 2021 1:00 AM

Ready for some summer fun? West Bonner Libraries has what you are looking for, according to WBL Executive Director Katie Crill.

The summer reading fun for youth from kindergarten to sixth-grade begins at the Blanchard Library with a three-day Summer Reading Day Camp on June 15, 16 and 17 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Priest River Library's Summer Reading will be held at Priest River City Park on Tuesdays, June 29 through Aug. 3, 10:15 a.m.-12:45 p.m.

Online registration is available at https://westbonner.lili.org/summer-reading, or register at either library.

Preschool Story Time on Wednesdays at 11:30 a.m. in Blanchard and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. in Priest River will follow the Tails and Tales theme this summer. However, StoryTime will not be held on June 16-17, or on June 23-24.

Thanks to a Make It @ Your Library grant from the Idaho Commission for Libraries, a special summer project is in the works for youth between the ages of 12 and 18. Thanks to the grant, the project will allow the youth to create virtual reality tours and games that center around the community.

Projects will be posted on the library's Facebook page and voted on by the public. First and second place will receive Visa gift cards.

Teen Book Bingo is underway. Stop by either library and pick up a bingo card. Complete the reading challenges by July 31 to be entered in a prize drawing on Aug. 1.
