Early Out Wednesdays
Our Early Out Wednesday programs are designed to captivate young minds with engaging activities and learning experiences. Students from kindergarten through 5th grade will enjoy a mix of storytelling, hands-on crafts, interactive games, and educational fun. The second early out of each month will feature a special guest presenter at the library. The fourth Wednesday of the month will be LEGO Club. Parents or caregivers are responsible for their student(s) making it to and from the program, but are not required to stay for the duration of the program.
1000 Book Before Kindergarten
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is an ongoing reading program to encourage parents and caregivers to read 1,000 books with their children before they enter school. The program is based on research showing that the more children ages 0-5 hear books read to them, the more prepared they will be to learn to read in kindergarten. Parents sign up for the program at the library and receive reading journals to record how many books they read to their child. Once a reading milestone has been reached, the library rewards the accomplishment with a prize. Once participants have read 1,000 books before kindergarten, they have successfully completed the program & have a jump-start on school and reading success! Click the icon to sign up today!
Kid Librarian of the Month
Each month a student from kindergarten through sixth-grade will be chosen to curate a display in the library featuring some of their favorite books, pick out a new book for the library to buy for its collection, and have the opportunity to help Kling staff behind the desk for an hour on the day of their choice. The Kid Librarian will also be featured in our newsletter and on our social media. Students can apply to be chosen for Kid Librarian of the Month by using the Google form linked in the image to the right.
