Limestone Township Library District Starts Summer Reading with a Movie Kick-Off

Summer Reading is here! At Limestone Township Library District, we are planning an excitement filled summer with our reading program called ‘Where the Adventure Begins.’

Our Kick-Off program is a Movie Day on Saturday, June 8, starting at 12:00 noon. We plan to explore Space this week starting with our movie “Lightyear.” Attendees can have fun making their own rocket to sit in and create their own rocket packs. There will be hotdogs, popcorn, and pop rocks to snack on.  It’s sure to be a blast!

Registration for Summer Reading is ongoing.  Community members can register through June 20. Registration must be done in person. At that time, participants will receive an information packet that includes a reading log, and the program calendar for June and July. Every participant gets a raffle tickle for every on hundred minutes read And for each program that they attend.

When you register, make sure to sign up for any program that fits your child or yourself. We plan to have a busy summer making crafts, visiting with people, exploring nature, and having a Medieval Faire on June 22.
