Monterey County Free Libraries is once again presenting their popular Summer Reading Club. The fun runs from June 1 through July 31, complete with prizes and performances.
People of all ages — children, teens, and adults — are encouraged to sign up, read throughout the summer, and participate in activities. Sign up at your local MCFL branch to receive a reading log or challenge card, or visit emcfl.beanstack.com/reader365 to participate online.
Everyone who signs up will receive a free book, with titles available for all ages, in Spanish, and in large print. Once you have completed your reading log or challenge card, return to your local MCFL branch to collect your finisher prize.
MCFL will be hosting a variety of free performances for youth and families this summer. Visit www.eMCFL.org to find program dates at your local branch. This year’s performers include Sterling Bubblesmith, Jungle James, Rhythm Builders, Magician Mike Della Penna, and Puppet Art Theater.
Workshops for teens and adults will also be offered at select branches. These workshops are open to ages 13 and up, require registration, and all supplies will be provided. Workshop topics include paint parties, collaging, watercolor selfies, architectural model design, tie-dye, and lawn games.
MCFL also offers Lunch at the Library at the majority of its branches. Youth 18 and under are invited to stop by for a free grab-and-go meal. For lunch service dates and times at your local branch, check the website.
The Summer Reading Program is sponsored by the Foundation for Monterey County Free Libraries and Chevron, whose support makes this program and many others throughout the year possible.
Sign up today, pick up your free book, and enjoy the summer!
