Summer Reading Program 2022

Oceans of Possibilities @ the Lewiston City Library

June 6 - July 22

The Summer Reading Program (SRP) at the Lewiston City Library is an annual program that is intended to keep children, tweens, teens, and adults engaged in reading over the summer months. Research shows this is important for everyone in our community, especially children! Don’t let your reading skills slip and slide over the summer months, sign-up for our Summer Reading Program! Each week participants record, rate, and describe one book or a chapter from a book they are reading on their Summer Reading Stamp Card. Cards can be brought to the library weekly and will be stamped. Participants will receive a fun weekly prize and each week a ticket goes in for the grand prize drawing that is held at the conclusion of the program (July 28th). There are some great programs planned for all ages (adults too)!

ALL AGES ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE! IT'S FUN & IT'S FREE!

STEAM Ahead Saturdays

Date: Saturdays, June 25 & July 16
Time: 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Location: Library Event Space
Intended Ages: 4-8

At each STEAM Ahead Saturdays, young learners will take part in interactive play with activities and toys focusing on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) concepts. Inquiry-based learning will be the focus as children learn by asking simple questions during play. Children naturally want to play, and we want to encourage parents and caregivers to play alongside their child. Strong STEAM skills will set a foundation for your young child’s school achievement for years to come and play is the best way for children to learn!
