Kids

TD Summer Reading Club

Summer reading is all about having fun and reading what YOU want. There are no special books to read, and we’ll always have plenty of suggestions.

Call and reserve one of our Summer Reading Book Bundles for the kids. We’ve put together lots of fun reading supplies, and you don’t even have to set foot in the library with our curbside pickup service. 257-2702

We’ll also have a limited number of special Literacy Kits for children who need a little extra help over the summer months. These are a first-come, first-served supply, so make sure to get one for your child who is in Kindergarten to Grade 4 once our Summer Reading program begins on June 25th. Give us a call to reserve a bag. 257-2702

Looking for more? Children can visit the TD Summer Reading Club website for activities, reading lists, accessible booklets, and much more!

Teens

Summer Reading Challenges

We’re not doing Book Buck Bingo this summer, which will probably be a big disappointment to a lot of teens, but it just wasn’t going to work online. Instead, join us for our challenges all summer long to earn extra ballots for great prizes. We’ll be drawing for prizes throughout the summer.

Adults

Summer Reading Program

Join us this summer for a Pirate-themed Summer Reading Treasure Hunt! Once you register, start reading whatever you like, and make sure to check in each Friday with the number of hours that you read this week. We’ll be giving out some fun prizes all summer long!

Accessibility for kids

Our summer programs are open to children of all abilities. Does your child have an accessibility need? Please talk to staff about ways we can accomodate.

The TD Summer Reading Club has accessible booklets and reading materials for children with reading issues such as dyslexia or visual impairment.

Email our Children’s Librarian, Heidi, at hsinnett@carletonplace.ca for more information.
