Summer Reading Game Sign-Up Begins

For many Pelham children, it’s not officially summer until the Summer Reading Game begins. It starts as soon as the last class bell rings on Thursday, June 23, and continues through Saturday, July 30. As always, the Reading Game is open to children in pre-school through grade eight.

Pre-school children can sign up and get a book prize once they have listened to six stories. School-age children get a free book upon reading three age-appropriate books. Kids who read more can get additional prizes from the Treasure Chest, and participants will celebrate at the annual make-your-own-sundae ice cream party on
Thursday, August 25, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

To kick off this summer’s program on June 23, master falconer James Eyring will bring a number of raptors to the Library. See a hawk, a kestrel, owls, and falcons in flight, starting at 2:30 p.m.
