Read Around Town
The
theme for this year's summer reading program is 'Read Around Town'.
There are many of the same in-library groups as other years WITH
THE ADDITION of drop-in programs out in the community that are still to
be announced. What a great way to maintain reading skills over the
summer. There will be weekly themes, crafts and hands-on activities to
enhance literacy skills and have fun.All the information and registration forms can be found on the Read Around Town page.
West Perth Lion's Pool Swim Pass
Thanks
to a kind donation from John Nater M.P., the library has a Swim Pass to
the West Perth Lion's Pool. Interested swimmers can come to the library
and sign out the pass. It is good for 1 day use at the pool. The
pass will start when the pool opens on June 8. In order to allow many
patrons to make use of this pass, we will allow a maximum of 5 uses per
patron. This pass cannot be reserved in advance or renewed. Please note
that Pool rules apply: children must be 7 or older to swim by
themselves. Free Drop-in Programs Around Town
In
conjunction with our "Read Around Town" theme, this summer we have a
weekly free drop-in program for 8 weeks starting the first week of
July. These
are free programs and children do not need to be registered in the
in-library summer program to attend. Parents are welcomed and
encouraged to participate in the program along with their children. Fun
for the whole family! Check out where the action each week is here. There has been an extra drop-in program added.
