The Monroe County Library System’s summer reading programs are in full swing.  The libraries are encouraging kids to keep up with their reading during summer break, while providing fun activities in air conditioned comfort.

Summer Reading at New York Libraries is an annual program that brings children and families into local public libraries for reading and activities.  This last week alone we went to 5 different programs at 5 different libraries!  Monday we saw Digeridoo Down Under a musical and educational program about Australia and it’s indigenous peoples and animals, Tuesday the kids danced the afternoon away to the musical group The Meatballs, Wednesday we really enjoyed a lesson in percussion by Ed Keegan, Adventures in Rhythm, Thursday was one of our favorites-Bubblemania which is an educational bubble show, and finally on Friday the girls got to enjoy a magic show, Katrina even got to assist with one of the tricks.  Plus by participating in the reading program the girls earned free ice cream.  Next week we have 4 programs on our schedule and we can’t wait.

Certain libraries have programs every week at a certain time like the Brighton lib on Monday mornings at 10:30am, and the Fairport lib on Tuesdays at 10:30am, and the Geneseo lib on Monday and Thursday afternoons at 2pm.  And other libraries have them on random dates and times.  To search for programs click here.  Maybe we’ll you at a library sometime soon.
