Teen Summer Program

THANK YOU FOR AN AWESOME 2021 SUMMER!
Your reading and activities donated an alpaca and honeybees through Heifer International to help families around the world become self-sufficient.
We’ll see you next June!

What’s this about?

Registration Packets: Stop by outside the library (weather permitting) June 21st – 26th to pick up a registration packet! Get yourself a little stress animal to help with the stress of this year as well as info!

Virtual Badging Program (starts June 14th and runs through August 14th)

  • Explore different activities through different types of animal tails. This program focuses on citizen scientist and crowdsourced activities to take part in online as well. The badges focus on activities such as gaming, art, and community service to get badges and/or keep track of the minutes you read to earn badges.
  • All of these earn you votes to decide what animals we will donate (thanks to the Friends of the Library) from Heifer International! This organization aims to end hunger and poverty in a sustainable way by supporting and investing alongside local farmers and their communities. They do this by giving animals to families that gives them food and a way to make a living.
  • Each badge also earns you a raffle entry for an Amazon gift card.

Contests:

Bookmark Contest! Our annual bookmark contest is going on and is open to 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders! Draw your favorite animal, real or imagined.
