One World, Many Stories
Head over to the Henrietta A. Landwehr Children’s Library Center for a summer full of reading and great activities at Mead Public Library! And it’s all free!
Pick One
• Reading Club for children entering grades 1-12 who can read by themselves, or
• Read-to-Me Club for children age 2 and up who are not yet reading or not yet entering grade 1.
Check it out
Apply for your own library card. It’s free and you need a library card to sign up! Once you have a library card, you can join our program online or in person. To register, use one of these links: Read to Me Club, Reading Club. Or come in and use our computer to sign up at the Henrietta A. Landwehr Children’s Library Center (third floor).
Last day to join is July 25.
Bring your own card to Mead Library and pick out books, audiobooks, or graphic novels. Or you may read books from home, magazines or newspapers.
Stay on Top!
Start reading! Keep track of the time you read. If you choose, you may use a reading chart to keep track of your time and then transfer the number of minutes to your online account.
Members, as soon as you have completed 5 hours of reading, bring along your library card and come on in! (Someone else can’t come in for you.)
You’ll receive:
• a Reading Achievement Certificate
• a free book to keep
• pass to Waswagoning and also to a Wisconsin Historic Site or Museum.
Keep Going!
After you’ve read 10 hours and again at 15 hours, come back for more rewards. You must claim your reward before continuing to the next level.
Finish 20 hours, and you’ll get an “Outstanding Reader” ribbon. (One set of coupons/rewards per day, per person.) August 1 is the last day to record your reading time to be eligible for rewards!
Extras for readers
A Reading Club member who reads 5 hours gets 1 chance to try to win a Reading Club prize.
Reach 1,111,111!
We'll add up all the minutes that each member reads. If we reach a million combined total reading minutes, we'll have a special drawing for a grand prize of water park tickets.
Bus rides, too!
Is it hard for you to get to Mead Library? Tickets for free Shoreline Metro bus rides to Mead Library will be provided to club members, courtesy of the Friends of Mead Public Library. Just ask us for details!
And there’s more!
Join us for summer fun! We have storytimes, movies, crafts, and live performances. You’ll find details when you register online or pick up a copy of our newsletter, Kidbits, at the library. Let us know if you need disability accommodations.
Again This Year!
Children at Sheboygan Recreation Dept. playground sites will have outreach visits from library staff, including a chance to join Mead’s Summer Library Program.
