The library will offer a multitude of programs, activities and prizes for children 12 and under during its Summer Reading event, "Color Our World."

Registration for Summer Reading is underway, with all children who register receiving a bag that includes reading logs, coupons, etc., and a library yard sign.

We also are hosting Family Fun Fridays at the library with special programs scheduled featuring live animals, juggling, music, dancing, and more.

Children can earn prizes just for reading and filling out and returning their logs through July 31.

The library also is hosting weekly storytimes through July 31, as well as a new Tween Hangout ideal for 10- to 12-year-olds. The hourlong sessions at 2 p.m. each Tuesday will feature free snacks and activities.

For more information, contact Youth Services Coordinator Amber Chaney at 937.783.3585.

All young adults ages 13 to 18 can pick up a registration tumbler for the Teen Summer Reading Program at the library. The tumbler contains all the information necessary to participate, plus some coupons.

The summer reading program runs through July 31 with a Teen Review Raffle and Art Bingo. For every 5 hours teens read, they can submit their log and spin the wheel for prizes. They also receive an entry into the Grand Prize Drawing. The more you read, the better your chances of winning. Teens also may complete five boxes on the Art Bingo board and submit it by July 31 to earn a prize and be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing.

The Grand Prize Drawing takes place July 31. One lucky winner will receive a 20-inch Bigfoot Squishmallow, tie-dye kit, and $25 McDonald's gift card.

The library also will host a new Teen Hangout at 6 p.m. each Tuesday during June and July. The hourlong sessions will feature free snacks and various activities.

Please contact Adult Services Coordinator Shay Snow at 937.783.3585 with any questions.

The library is offering bagged breakfasts and lunches to anyone 18 and younger from 2 to 6 p.m. each Monday through August 15. 

Children and/or their guardians may take up to 7 lunch and/or breakfast meals at a time. If someone else will be picking up meals for a child without the child present, guardians must sign and return this document.

The library is participating in the Summer Food Service Program through sponsorship with the Children's Hunger Alliance, the Ohio Department of Education, and the USDA.

This month's Take-and-Make kit features a Wish Bracelet that is designed to eventually fall apart. 

Each Take-and-Make bag contains all the supplies necessary to make one bracelet.

Just follow the included instructions to make your bracelet. Make a wish when you put on your bracelet and tie it. The twine will eventually wear out and the beads will fall off. When this happens, your wish comes true.

Visit the library and grab a free bag.
