Join the KPL Summer Reading Program Reading Challenge! Push yourself to explore new reading options with this fun challenge. Complete 10 of the mission's activities to complete the 2023 Reading Challenge badge.
Go for a walk and look for letters of the alphabet all around you! For example, two branches on the ground might form the letter T. The goal is to find the letters without having to move items around to create the letter. Mark off each letter as you find it!
Do something nice and show kindness to others! These activities are great ways to show your generosity.
To complete the Mission and earn the Library Quilt Project Badge:
Get your little ones to expand their horizons. This can be accomplished by trying something new or seeing things in a different light. Teach your little ones that you don’t have to travel far to explore new things—wonderment can be found everywhere!
Small gestures make the most difference on a daily basis. It's easy to get so preoccupied with our own lives that we forget about others, but with just one simple act of kindness, we can change the way someone else's day goes, and we can better ourselves and the world in the process. This challenge is designed for you to take the time to do something for someone else — and hopefully they will pay it forward to the next person!
Books can take you around the world and back, even if you're only in your backyard! Show us all the fun and exciting places you read by marking each place you read. Get out and read!
In addition to the weekly Children's Hour and the Storytimes with Dragon's Sleepover, we will have two Special Storytimes in July. Mrs. Katie's Pajama Storytime will be at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, July 11, and Mr. Jesse's Super Saturday Storytime will be at 10:30 Am on Saturday, July 15.
Join Miss Katie for Children's Hour at 10:00 AM each Wednesday in June. To earn the badge, you need to attend 3 of the 4 Children's Hour programs in June. Badge can be earned by parents and children who attend. Children's Hour will be geared for birth to age 5, but all children are welcome. School-age children may prefer to attend our Tales with Teacher Storytime in the afternoon instead.
Teens and Tweens ages 10+ are invited to the meeting room each Friday from 1-2 PM for T-N-T, a fun time designed just for you. Each program will have a librarian or presenter present to lead T-N-T. We are limiting attendance to T-N-T to ages 10-18 to allow our teens and tweens space to be with their own age. Additional family members may spend the time in the library. Earn the badge by attending at least 3 T-N-T programs in July.
