NEWS RELEASE
GREY HIGHLANDS PUBLIC LIBRARY
**********************
There is so much to do this summer at your local library. Pick up a book, win a prize, attend a free program, and connect with your community.
Reading does not stop at the end of the school year, and neither do free community programs. Celebrate summer this year at the Grey Highlands Public Library.
TD Summer Reading Club: Get Your Summer Read On
Get ready for Canada’s biggest, bilingual summer reading program for kids of all ages, all interests, and all abilities! The TD Summer Reading Club is a free program that celebrates Canadian authors, illustrators, and stories, and is designed to inspire kids to explore the fun of reading their way – the key to building a lifelong love of reading.
Kids (and their caregivers) can participate anytime, anywhere – at local public libraries across Canada as well as at home, online, on the road, or wherever their summer takes them. Participants explore recommended reads; track their own reading; connect and share with others across the country; read books online; join in activities; collect reading incentives; write jokes, stories, and book reviews, and more. There are great resources for kids with print disabilities as well as for pre-readers and their families. Sign up to receive a free notebook to track your reading accomplishments and stop by the library in July for a chance to win prizes.

Family Storytime
Did someone say stories, crafts, and songs? Family storytime happens weekly at the Library’s Flesherton (Tuesdays at 10:30 a.m.) and Markdale (Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m.) all throughout the year, including July and August. Registration is recommended.
Register online here.
