Start planning for the summer reading program


Welcome!
Get a Clue– investigate!

How to participate–
Pick up a “Get a Clue” folder at the library starting June 4. Inside are 25 dog prints, with a list of 31 reading investigations. As you complete an investigation, color in a dog print and bring it to the library for a special sticker. You can choose as many investigations as you want to do. For every 3 completed investigations you have earned a spot for the weekly “Get a Clue Lunch Bunch” on Thursdays. Remember to read books that challenge you and will prepare you for next fall’s school reading! Record what you have read (or what was read to you) on the lower portion of the folder be sure to include the corresponding number of the investigation you completed! Bring your folder with you for verification when you come to the library!
