Summer Reading Program Offered During the Summer by Public
Libraries
| The Greater City of Sudbury has organised a Summer
Reading Program with the goal to encourage children to read.
Children can register at their local branch.
Registration is free. When
a child registers, he receives a bookmark.
Upon every visit at the library, the child can present his
bookmark to the librarian and he will receive a sticker(One sticker per
visit, NOT one sticker per book). After
everytime that he collects 5 stickers, he can choose a prize from the
treasure chest. Also, when
he registers he will fill out a ballot to be eligible for the grand
prize and second prize. The
grand prize is a bike and the second is a scooter.
The draw for the prizes will take place at the Wizard Homecoming
Celebration at Science North, August 24.
Everyone registered is welcome to attend the party, free of
charge. The theme reading club is "Books Are Magic". Keeping with this theme, throughout the summer there will be
activities at all the libraries. The
activities are geared for children ages 5 to 12, but younger ones may
attend if a parents stays with them.
There are no registrations for these activities, and they are
free. The children just
need to show up. If they
can't make it at the times for their local libraries, they are welcome
to attend the activities of any other library throughout the Greater
City of Sudbury. The first
week, the activity is to make wizard costumes.
The second week, a magician will be appearing at seven of the 12
libraries. He will be at
The Valley East Library as well as the Capreol Library.
The third week, Science North will making a presentation on
potions at some of the libraries, including the Valley and Capreol.
The fourth week, Science North will be returning to present a

The fifth week is "crack the code".
The sixth week is a really special week.
Muskoka Wildlife Center will be bringing some animals to the
Valley East Branch and the Main Branch.
The other branches will be making animal masks.
For anyone interested in attending the activities, calendars with
all the times and days are available at all the libraries.
The are some activities that have both a french and english
program at some of the branches(including the Valley branch).
The guest speaker presentations will be bilingual. There are
prizes to be one at each branch every week for those children who attend
the activities. Also during the Homecoming Party at Science North, there
