"Who knows why we live, and struggle, and die?... Wise men write many books, in words too hard to understand. But this, the purpose of our lives, the end of all our struggle, is beyond all human wisdom."

—Alan Stewart Paton (1903-88) South African writer, noted for novels Cry, the Beloved Country

Dream Big - Read!


This FREE weekly event is for children from Kindergarten through 5th grade.

 

Each week's Summer Reading Program event features a different exciting guest, including a magician, an astronomer, musicians,  and others. Younger siblings may join us for the entertainment portion in the company of a responsible adult.  

Weekly activities for the registered summer readers include arts, crafts and games.  Upon registration, children will receive a reading log and stickers.  Children are encouraged to log the time they spend reading throughout the summer.  We will record and display their reading tally and award prizes for our reader's efforts.  

The first hour will be library fun, games and art.  The second hour will spotlight our entertainer.  

 

Call 970-479-2187  for more information and/or directions.

 

Please note the new location for the Summer Reading Program during the renovation of the Vail Public Library.
