Summer Reading Program is finally here!

This year’s summer reading program, Imagine Your Story, will begin Monday, July 20 and run through Friday, Aug. 21. Despite all the changes and uncertainty of the past few months, we still want to offer our young readers the opportunity to participate in this popular summertime library activity. However, the shortened program will look a little different:

• The program is still for children from birth to age 15.
• Parents or grandparents can call or stop in the lobby to register their child.
• You can go online and request your child’s reading material (be sure to limit the search to Caldwell Public Library), or you can tell us what reading level they need and we will make up a “mystery bag” with books in it.
• Bags can be picked up in the lobby.
• You will then keep track of your child’s reading record, and when you are finished drop it in the book drop for a chance to win a prize.
• There will be no grand finale summer party this year.

As a reminder, we are still operating with only the lobby open. A mask is required to enter the lobby, but if you do not have one we can offer you service outside. We are unable to allow children inside at this time. We appreciate everyone’s patience in this unusual and challenging time. We are striving to do the best we can under the circumstances, and greatly appreciate our patrons’ support!
