CITY OF BRENHAM UNVEILS DETAILS FOR ANNUAL SUMMER READING PROGRAM
The City of Brenham and the Nancy Carol Roberts Memorial Library have released the details on this year’s summer reading program.
This year’s slogan for the program is “Imagine Your Story”, and runs from June 1st through July 31st. City staff say they are taking extra precautions to protect the health and safety of readers by offering a program that maintains physical distance, but still allows interactive fun.
Starting June 1st, readers can visit the library’s summer reading page online at https://cityofbrenham.org/library and follow the links to register through the online tracker – Wandoo Reader. They can also request a paper form to pick up from the library through curbside pickup, or download one from the library’s summer reading program webpage.
Readers can then begin logging their reading minutes and completing activities to earn prizes like food coupons or a summer t-shirt. Any reading counts, whether it be books, comic books, or magazines. The community goal for the library is 100,000 total minutes read this summer.
Bonus activities and challenges can be completed for extra points for entries in weekly prize drawings. Bonus activities include scavenger hunts, StoryWalk, and take-home Tuesday kits. The library will distribute 100 @home kits every Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m. for curbside pickup. It will also feature live videos every Tuesday morning on its Facebook page at 10 a.m., along with more opportunities to participate in bonus challenges.
The library is currently offering curbside pickup for library materials and one-hour appointments for computer use. Curbside checkout and pick-up days will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., while reservations for computers are available on Mondays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. To learn more, visit the library’s website, or call 979-337-7201.
