My Rochester Local Library - Summer Reading Program...building community in difficult times...(check out your own library too!)

“IMAGINE YOUR STORY” ALL AGES - SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAM (SLP) JUNE 20 – AUGUST 8 2020 Join us for a fun summer of fantasy, fairy tales, and mythology!  
All ages are welcome to take part in this free program. Please email the library at info@plumblilbrary.com or call the library at 508-763-8600  to sign-up!  Then  start  reading and completing challenges from June 20 through August 8. (Yes, listening to audiobooks and being read to all count!)   There will be prizes earned for participation in certain activities, and for completing a log by August 8.    
      There are many activities which youth (and adults) can do independently, while others can be done with a grown-up or together with family. You are also welcome to use logs to accomplish your own summer goals.  We just ask that this includes daily reading, brain building activities, and outdoor experiences.  
     This year, links for Bingo Cards, Challenge Checklists, and Logs can be found below under “Links for Printouts” so that you can print them from your own home.  (Contact Ms. Lisa if you cannot print our documents from your home. There will be some printed copies available for pick up at the library.)  
      There will be no in-house library programs due to pandemic restrictions. However, check our Event Calendar to save the dates for library sponsored at-home and in the community programs!
By reading, completing challenges, and logging your progress, you will also be helping us reach our goal of 100 (minimum) completed logs.  We have registered for the first ever “First Lady of the Commonwealth and Blades Summer Reading Challenge”. The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners teamed up with the Boston Bruins and First Lady of the Commonwealth Lauren Baker to challenge everyone to read this summer!  To participate, libraries set a summer program goal and strive to reach it by program end.  All libraries reaching their goals will  be entered into a drawing to win many special Bruins prizes.  First Lady Baker is also asking us to submit summer reading success stories as they happen. She will select her favorite and visit that library! So please share your success stories with us right away!
      This program is free thanks to the support of state and local sponsors. “Imagine Your Story” is sponsored by the Massachusetts Library System, the Boston Bruins, and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, with additional support from the Collaborative Summer Library Program, The Friends of Plumb Library, The Rochester Cultural Council, Brook Realty, Rochester Memorial School and  many wonderful volunteers.
