Hello friends!
Welcome to our Virtual Summer Reading Program!
This year's theme is "Read Between the Branches" and we are so excited that you are here, even though you're there!
Norfolk County Public Library has put together some exciting things! We've also partnered with Norfolk Heritage & Culture and Norfolk Parks & Recreation because "We're All in this Together" and want to make sure you have lots of fun things to do this summer! There will be a combination of fun classics, like Storytime and Crafts, and new favourites, that all fall under the STREAM model of learning!
What's STREAM??
We're glad you asked!
STREAM stands for
Science
Technology
Reading
Engineering
Arts
Math!
Each week of summer we will focus on one of these subjects, and finish off the fun with a week about Norfolk County!
Did you know that our books travel between the Branches? We thought it would be fun if you did, too!
We've upped the reading challenge and are prepared to reward you for your honest efforts! So, this summer reading will earn you kilometres to get prizes!
