A UNIVERSE OF STORIES: PASSPORT TO ADVENTURE
Each child in this year's summer learning program will receive an age appropriate passport containing all the information needed for them to complete the program. The focus of the passport will be a bingo card, with different tasks, events, and activities that the child can complete or attend, some of which will need to be accessed below in the "Children's SLP Online Activities" section. For every "bingo" (six squares crossed out, either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) won, the child's name goes into a drawing for a grand prize. Winners will be chosen on the final day of the program at the finale on July 30th.
PROGRAM SCHEDULE
All programs are held at Kandy Kane Park unless otherwise indicated by the library. Programs are every Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m. from June 18 - July 30, with the exception of July 2, and although chosen to engage children, they will delight people of all ages. Alternative programs are available for participants to have more opportunities to meet summer learning program requirements. View the full list of Alternate Programs.
