<p>Our summer reading program is for Children ages 0 to 12, and is made possible by <a href="http://mtpleasantlib.org/events/summer-reading-2010/sponsors/">our generous sponsors</a>. <a href="http://mtpleasantlib.org/events/2010-summer-reading-pictures/">Check out our pictures</a>!</p>
<p>(those who are 12 and going into 7th grade in the fall can choose to participate in the children’s summer reading program or the teen summer reading program but they can’t do both.)</p>
<p><strong>HOW IT WORKS!!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Goals for the summer reading program</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>To motivate children to read</li>
<li>To develop positive attitudes about reading and books</li>
<li>To enable children to maintain their reading skill during summer vacation</li>
<li>To encourage regular use of the library</li>
<li>To attract new users to the library</li>
</ul>
<p>In order to reach our goals we have put together a fun and exciting summer reading program.</p>
<p>The goal for the children’s summer reading program is to read 10 hours between June 2<sup>nd</sup> and July 14<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>(In order to keep it fair you can only count up to 10 hours of reading for the program, but we encourage you to</p>
<p>read as much as you can.)</p>
<p>When you sign up you will be given a time card and a page with 10 Make A Splash Cards on it. Each card represents one hour of reading. For every hour you read you will cut out a card and turn it in at the library to be entered in a drawing for prizes. You will need to bring in your time card so we can sign each box.</p>
<p>This year we will also have a big rainbow fish in the hall of our library. For every hour you read you will receive a fish scale with your name on it to add to our rainbow fish. After you have read all 10  hours you will receive a silver scale to add to the fish.</p>
<p>After you have completed your 10 hours of reading and turned in your time sheet you will also receive a free kids meal from Wheelers Drive In.</p>
<p>All time cards and Make A Splash card will be due no later than July 14th.</p>
<p>Our final party will be held on July 14th where we will have the drawing for the prizes. Every child who reads at least one hour and turns in a reading card will receive a prize.</p>
<p>Registration starts at the first storytime on June 2<sup>nd</sup> and will last until July 7<sup>th</sup>. We will not accept any registrations after July 7<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>We will hold our weekly story times every Wednesday at 10:45 to 11:45 a.m. in the Mt. Pleasant Rec Center.</p>
<p>Parents we need volunteers to help with the weekly story times. If you can help please sign up at the library.</p>
