The summer reading program will look different this year as our physical spaces are not available due to ongoing construction and COVID-19. Unfortunately, we will not be hosting any large group events at the library this summer.
Reading, however, can be done any time and any place! And after a season of online learning for many of you Wadsworth Library wants to prioritize a summer of reading for pleasure and fun family
activities. To meet this goal and to adapt to our limited space we have simplified our summer program. Each age bracket (preschoolers, kids, and teens) has a separate online folder providing instructions, event information, Facebook challenges, and weekly BINGO sheets. Each week a new BINGO sheet will be made available and participants can work through them at their own pace. Each completed BINGO sheet earns a free prize book from the library. Participants may earn up to four free books throughout the month of July!
