Catch The Reading Bug This Summer at the Library

Fast bug, slow bug, red bug, blue bug.  Big bug, little bug, good bug, bad bug.  Catch the Reading Bug! at the Minot Public Library this summer where children can explore the world of bugs and enjoy other activities during the library’s summer reading program. 

Children who read a minimum of thirty minutes per week will be eligible for weekly drawings that will be held throughout the summer.  Children signing up for the program will be given a time log to keep track of the time they spend reading each week.  They will be given one chance to win for each symbol crossed off the time log.  Children reading a minimum of 1 hour per week for two weeks will receive a pass for one round of golf at the Jack Hoeven WEE LINKS golf course.  Children will also be given a chance to win each time they check out materials.

Drawings will be held weekly throughout the summer.  Grand prizes will be given at the end of the program.  Prizes include: a Barnes and Noble Gift Card given by THOMAS EYE CARE AND EYE WEAR, a Room, Breakfast, and Pool Party given by HOLIDAY INN, and a Family Pass for 2008 to ROOSEVELT ZOO and a  Scheel’s Gift Card given by SIGNAL REALTY.                                                                

The program will kick off on May 29th in Room 301 of the Minot Municipal Auditorium starting at 2:00 PM.  Charlie Williams, the Noise Guy, will entertain both children and adults with a special summer reading kick-off show.  Children may sign up for the summer reading program at this time as well starting at 1:30 PM.

The program will conclude with drawings for the final prizes to be held at Roosevelt Park Zoo August 8th.    Watch your local newspaper for time and further details.
