Summer Reading has begun!

We kicked off our summer reading club on Saturday June 16th with magic shows, a caricature artist, balloon animals, face painting, crafts, and much more! Everyone had a great time! We have over 300 children registered for our summer reading club so far!

Here's how the summer reading club works:  Children ages 0 thru entering 5th grade should sign up in the Children's room. You'll receive a reading log to keep track of the books you read with child or the books that they read on their own. Bring it in once a week and we'll check off the books you've read and get two raffle tickets to enter into weekly prizes. Our first raffle will be drawn Monday, June 25th after 1PM. Each person that registers (teens and adults, too) for the summer reading club receives a tote bag, courtesy of the Friends of the Matawan-Aberdeen Public Library.

We also have a variety of activities for children and teens this summer. Check out our online calendar! Please note that most programs require registration (which is separate than registering for the summer reading club.)

And...if you are looking for books on your child's school summer reading list, we've got an entire section in the Children's room dedicated to the Matawan-Aberdeen school summer reading list. (We do not have the lists to distribute, but you can print them out or photocopy them here.)
