The Calhoun County Library had a very starry-eyed Summer Reading Program Kickoff event and is looking forward to the next program to celebrate literacy. Register for summer reading on our website or scan the QR code while you’re in the library!
The theme this year for the Summer Reading Program is
“Adventure Begins At Your Library.” To really get the adventure started, we had
a special kickoff event planned for Thursday, June 6, 2024. Roper Mountain
Science Center brought their portable planetarium to the John Ford Community
Center gymnasium. So, what is it like inside a planetarium? When we entered Roper Mountain’s large
inflatable dome, we experienced what it’s like to be in outer space, ranging
from looking at the night sky to watching big shooting stars and identifying
constellations. With multiple 30-minute viewings, we were able to have over 120
people witness the stargazing phenomenon. To get our Summer Reading Program
started off with a bang, we brought the galaxy to St. Matthews!
Our next Summer Reading Program is
on Thursday, June 13, 2024, at 10:30 AM. Mary Dixon from the Calhoun County
Soil & Water Conversation will be making cyanotypes, a camera-less picture
using the sun and nature.
Also, don’t forget to register for
the Summer Reading Program to log all your books and get your prizes for every
milestone. Registration for Beanstack opened on June 1, 2024, but it is not too
late to register. You do not need to be registered to attend the events, but
you do need to be registered to get prizes. This includes the chance to win our
end of the Summer prizes of bikes, gift cards, and more. So, register and log
those books!
