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!

What’s that in the sky? Is it a bird? A plane? No, it’s a dragon! And a griffin! And a fairy!

There as so many fantastical mythical creatures to learn about this week with our theme Creature Feature! Let us know your favourite in the comments and be sure to tell the library staff when you visit the library to check out some new books from this week’s reading list!”

To have fun exploring this week’s theme from home, download this week’s colouring sheet and check out this week’s online reading list  And, as always, we encourage you to head into your local library branch to find even more amazing books! Hopefully we will see you there!
