The Whitewright Public Library (WPL) Summer Reading Program began June 1. Using the theme “Unearth a Story,” program activities focused on dinosaurs.
Throughout the summer, the library is offering various ongoing programs, including:
Brag Tags and Beads
Pick up your themed brag tag, then each visit you’ll get a day-of-the-week bead to add. While supplies last!
Tiny Art Show
Entries on display in the library until the end of July.
Adopt-a-Dino
Pick out your dinosaur buddy and receive an adoption certificate. While supplies last!
100 Book Challenge
Color in a bookmark by reading 100 picture books or chapters. This earns a special brag tag bead, and thanks to a generous donation from Half Price Books, also allows kids to pick out a free book while supplies last.
Scavenger Hunts
Throughout the summer, search for posters in the windows of local businesses to earn a prize from the treasure chest.
Beanstack
Track your reading, review books, add friends, earn badges, and complete challenges throughout the summer for the chance to earn prizes! Visit whitewright.beanstack.com
Whitewright Rocks
A community event most active during the summer that consists of painting and hiding rocks around town to be found. Rocks can also be added to the rock art display in front of the library.
