Upon registration, participants ages infants-11 years will receive a “Catch the Reading Bug” reading log. Ages 12-18 years will pick up a “Metamorphosis” reading log. Be sure to pick up the library’s monthly calendar of events/programs and look at the library’s notebook of summer program flyers. For a listing of the programs at the county’s six libraries, go to www.claytonpl.org Click on “Calendar of Events.” After registration, the young reader may read anywhere. Participants are not required to read at the library. There is no minimum age for participation since young children and infants may have books read aloud to them. Parents of infants are also invited to register their children. Children and teenagers may read any reading material that is acceptable to their parents including books, magazines, newspapers, comic books, graphic novels, instruction manuals, recipes, and Internet text. Each participant is requested to read materials at his/her reading level. Although the six Clayton County libraries have wonderful selections of books, readers are not required to read books from the library. Participants of any age may also count books that are read aloud to them. Books heard at story times may also be included. Summer story times are being offered at selected Clayton County public libraries and at Barnes & Noble Booksellers on Mt. Zion Rd. in Morrow (11 a.m. Thursdays & Saturdays). Children may also listen to books recorded on cassettes or CDs. Special needs children may participate in any way that best serves their needs. Vacation Reading Program participants may choose to keep track of their reading by the number of books read OR by the number of hours spent reading. Thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Southlake for funds to purchase “reward” books. arcuriaj@claytonpl.org Kids Sat, 5 Jul 2008 09:00 -0400 Janice Arcuria arcuriaj@claytonpl.org Sat, 5 Jul 2008 09:00 -0400 Sat, 5 Jul 2008 18:00 -0400 Wed, 28 May 2008 13:16 -0400 9df789aa142bb87c2173f3db2c1e0f04--15fdfeaf:118a887c49f:-7fee http://www.claytonpl.org/calendar/ViewItem.html?cal_item_id=273&dtwhen=2454653 Youth ages 12-18 years change & grow this summer by reading and participating in the "Metamorphosis 2008 Teen Vacation Reading Program. Pick up your Reading Log at any Clayton County public library to keep track of your reading. This summer have fun reading whatever you want. Earn incentives based on the number of books you read or the number of hours you spend reading. Reading may be done anywhere: home, school, vacation, camp, church—anywhere you want. Like to read stuff other than books? That’s fine too. You may read comic books, articles on the Internet, graphic novels, magazines, instructional manuals, newspapers—and, oh yes, books. If you read things other than books, keep track of the amount of time you spend reading. If you want to take all summer to read a HUGE book, that’ fine too—just keep track of your time spent reading. When you finish either 10 hours of reading or 20 books, return to the library at which you registered to select a free new paperback book from a wide selection of books. More incentives may be picked up at additional reading levels.
