Make a Splash!
Jump right in! 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 who can read by themselves, or
• Read-to-Me Club for children age 2 and up who are not yet reading.
Pick it up
Summer Library Program bookbags will be available between June 1 and July 26.
The bookbag contains a time chart to keep track of your reading. You’ll also get a copy of Kidbits, our newsletter, and an information flier.
Check it out
Bring your own card to Mead Library and pick out your books. You also can read books from home, magazines, newspapers or graphic novels.
Stay on top
• Start reading!
• Cross out or color a symbol on your time chart for every hour you read.
Bring it back
Members, as soon as you have completed 5 hours of reading, bring back your time chart in person. (Someone else can’t bring it in for you and you may not return your time chart the same day you register.) You’ll receive
• a Reading Achievement Certificate
• a free book to keep.
Keep on reading to the 2nd and 3rd visit stars on your chart, and on your 2nd and 3rd visits to the library, you will receive other rewards. Finish 20 hours, and you’ll get an “Outstanding Reader” ribbon. (One set of coupons/rewards per day, per person.) August 2 is the last day to bring your chart back 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 a million!
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 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 storytimes and free programs held at Mead Library. You’ll find details in Kidbits. Let us know if you need disability accommodations. Due to space limitations, no strollers or carts will be permitted in programs.
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.
