Summer Reading = Summer Fun

The Reading Express is moving down the track with over 13,000 children participating so far. If you haven't hopped on board yet - don't worry - its not too late. Visit the Summer Reading 2010 Guide for information on all upcoming activities and to register for the Summer Club.

Reading Club members receive a Reading Log upon which to keep a list of the books they read. Reading Logs can be "redeemed" for a Reading Club Certificate and a free paperback book when the list of books read reaches fifteen.

Storybook Theatre at the Library

SAPL's first performance of Goldifox and the Two Hares will be presented this Saturday, June 5 at 2:00 pm in the Central Library Story Room.

The play is an original work of Storybook Theatre of Texas and promises to be a rollicking good time for children (and their grown-ups).

You can enjoy the play at libraries across the city throughout June and July. Consult the Summer Reading website for a complete schedule -- just look under the Special Performances tab.
