How does YOUR library rock?
This summer, libraries across the country and our very own
Norwin Public Library will be exploring all things musical with
a Summer Reading theme of “LIBRARIES ROCK!” Registration
began May 21 and programming begins Thursday, June 14 and
will wrap up on Thursday, July 26.
“Summer offers a unique opportunity for kids to really explore
so many different types of books we have here at the library,“
shares Children’s Librarian Barbara Flynn. “They may continue
an interest in non-fiction books, or want to read an entire series
because they now have the time, or even share the books they
love with a friend! I find that many kids will talk with their friends
about books they enjoy and then the friends want to borrow
the same titles. And it seems there’s always a hot new title that’s
in demand, and with all the Westmoreland County libraries
being linked together, even if that coveted title is checked out at
The easiest way? Have them read something each day! It can
be a graphic novel, a magazine, a newspaper or even listening
to an Book. Next, keep reading aloud to them, even after they
learn to read. Set aside some time each day just to share a story
or an article. Let them see you enjoying reading, model that
behavior for them. With over seventeen thousand books in the
Children’s Library, we are certain to have something to interest
your young reader. If there’s something you’d like to see us add
to our collection, please let us know. Summer Slide -- it’s easily
preventable.
If you need suggestions for a family read-aloud or for your child,
please ask the Children’s Library staff for a recommendation or
two!
