Hello summer readers! Now that we’ve gained our footing on land, it’s time to change with the wind and sail the wild seas! This week, we explore the seven seas, travelling on the magical sailing ships, befriending colourful parrots, fighting off sea monsters, and visiting the shark islands! Can you guess what this week’s theme is? Check this out! A Pirate Party!

Be sure to check out this week’s colouring sheets and pirate-themed reading list for some fantastic story suggestions! Of course, you can also visit your local Huron County Library Branch this summer! We hope to see you there!

Arr!

Summer Reading Week 1: New Friends!

Summer Reading Week 1: New Friends!

by | Jul 5, 2023 | Children & Families, Summer Reading

School is out and the Summer Reading Program has begun—hooray! We are so excited to be visiting all the incredible Huron County Library branches and cannot wait to read some exciting stories with all of you who are joining us this summer!

Last week we kicked off the program with the theme Check This Out! New Friends! We met LOTS of new friends, so we focused on being brave and stepping outside of our comfort zones when it comes to meeting new people. This certainly can be scary, but give it a try! You’ll see that friends can be there to trust, play, and have fun!

For those of you who are unable to join us at the program, feel free to print off a colouring sheet at home or from your local branch. Each week, we will be sharing a new themed colouring sheet on our blog; we hope you enjoy them!

Also, we encourage you to go to your local library sometime this week and check out some great books to begin your summer reading adventures! For story suggestions based on this week’s theme, check out our online reading list for week 1!

Always be brave!
