It’s the first official week of the TD Summer Reading Program—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!
This week we met lots of new friends who we will see all summer, so what better theme to kick things off with than “Blast off!” While we enjoyed meeting our new friends, we will also had fun learning about everything in our solar system! Did you know there are eight planets, five dwarf planets, one star, and (at least) 299 moons in our solar system? That’s a busy party!
Together we learned about how the summer reading club works, how to use your book log, how to win prizes, and how to make your nametag! We also read a book together, called, XO, Exoplanet by Deborah Underwood, and decorated our giant reading rocket ship in the library (we can’t wait till you see this, it’s super cool!).
For those who are unable to come to our first week, we still have cool things in store for you! You can print off a very cool colouring sheet at home or at your local library branch. We also encourage you to go to your local library 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!
We have liftoff!

The Alice Munro Branch, Wingham, is pleased to host Beyond Baby Talk, on Wednesday, Aug. 16. Discussions will focus on how children progress from crying as infants to gesturing, babbling, and finally mimicking words, labelling and stringing sentences together. Having some simple routines help a child make sense of their world and develop a sense of security. From feeding, to diapering, to playtime, to sleeping; these routines help to establish the habit of communication.
Songs will be used to help reinforce the basics in a fun way, including More Milk, Clean Up, Change My Diaper, etc. By verbalizing and signing at the same time, children learn quickly and are able to start matching the word to the sign until you no longer have to sign at all.
To register for this in-person program, contact the branch by calling 519-357-3312 or emailing winghamlibrary@huroncounty.ca.
