Summer Reading Programs in Evergreen, Bailey and Conifer

By Julie Dikken, Publisher and Editor of Evergreen.MacaroniKid.com May 19, 2016
School is out (or almost!) for the summer, so now is the perfect time to get started on a summer reading program. Whether you sign your kids up at the local libraries or you come up with a fun program of your own, it is a great way to keep your kids minds growing all summer long.

Here are the programs the libraries are offering in the Evergreen, Bailey and Conifer Areas.

Let's Read a Marathon and Prevent the Summer Slide
Jefferson County Public Library Reading Program
Jefferson County Library has set a goal for a reading marathon of 26.2 million minutes over the summer. Each participant's logged time will contribute towards this goal.

Prizes:
Everyone gets a gift at the "starting line" just by registering. Prizes are also given at the halfway point, and again at the finish line. (pick up prizes, while they last!)

Reading Goals:
Ages 0-3 – Complete 24 early-childhood education activities
Ages 4-18 – read for 8 hours
Ages 19+ – read for 16 hours

Get Started:
Dates are from June 1-July 31. Register online at jeffcolibrary.org. You keep track of your minutes by keeping a log online. Babies and toddlers can participate too!
