the Program this year:
This year's program looks much different than previous years because the library will always prioritize the health and safety of its patrons and members of the community. We still want everyone to have fun and read this summer, that has always been the goal of this program.
To sign up, just send us an email with your child(ren)'s name, age, and the statement that you would like to sign up for the program. >>>>>

What To expect:
Reading Challenge:
The reading challenge is a great way to stay on track for learning and not lose reading skills over the course of a summer. Keep track of your reading and for every 15 minutes you read you can fill out another bubble and after reading for 6 hours, you can earn yourself a button that you get to DESIGN YOURSELF!!!
(Just create your own button idea by filling in the circle in the corner, we'll make sure to turn it into a button for you)
These Trackers can handed out in the pickup/drop off area by the benches if you knock on that side door and ask for a tracker. They can also be found on the Carstairs Public Library Facebook page and printed.

You can earn yourself quite a collection of buttons by the end of the summer.
You will also be able to see your progress by visiting the library with your family. When the program starts up, look at the big windows facing outwards so you can see them at the park. You will have a car with your name on it moving along the track with the more sheets you complete.

An adult challenge is also available!
There are also adult trackers where you can earn an entry into an adult prize basket, and reading with your kids is always an excellent idea. To see more information about the prize basket you can win, the sheets you can fill out, and other details, then click the page link here: |
Take-home kits:
This summer we are designing a wide variety of crafts and activities and we'd hate for anyone to miss out on these. Each week for 6 weeks you can stop by the library and pick up a kit per family with all sorts of fun activities like game ideas and craft materials and instructions that you are able to complete from home. These are for all ages, and you'd be sure to find at least a couple things you would enjoy to do in each kit.
Please, please, please send in some photos of the amazing things you do, the library staff would still love to see all the amazing creations you make in our program.
