Lambton County Library's Summer Reading Program moves online

Wyoming, ON - Lambton County Library is encouraging people to read this summer through its annual Summer Reading Program, which is moving online this year.

The two-month Summer Reading Program is designed to encourage everyone to read.  The program provides kids ages 0-12 with opportunities to continue developing literacy skills over the summer months through reading-related games and activities. For teens and adults, the program is designed to engage them in their local community and encourage reading through weekly trivia battles and suggested reads.

The program is free and available to all Lambton County Library cardholders. Registration for the program will open on Thursday, July 2, 2020 at www.lclibrary.ca/summer-reading-program or by calling 519-337-3291 ext. 5905 or 1-866-324-6912 ext. 5905.

Throughout July and August, participants will be encouraged to take part in online activities, games and challenges, and to set reading goals for themselves. New online features will include weekly trivia challenges, community scavenger hunts, reading suggestions, online story times, escape rooms and more. Books can be borrowed through the library's new curbside service, and eBooks for children are available through digital platforms found at www.lclibrary.ca. 

"Our Summer Reading Program is one of our most anticipated programs of the year," said Greer Macdonell, Community Library Supervisor. "It will look a bit different this year, but we are excited to deliver it in a new way that continues to provide fun and engaging activities for Lambton County residents."

More information about the Summer Reading Program can be found at www.lclibrary.ca/summer-reading-program.

All Lambton County Library locations remain closed to the public. Cardholders are encouraged to borrow materials through the curbside pickup service at 13 locations or through online platforms, where thousands of eBooks and eAudiobooks are available at www.lclibrary.ca.
