Picnic finale and prize giveaway
The public library cares about your children and has planned programs to keep them reading and learning all summer. Whether counting the amount of time your children spend reading or the number of books they have read this summer, children who join the summer library program keep their brains active and enter school in the fall ready to learn and ready to succeed.
These fun activities are offered this summer to motivate children to discover the personal joy of reading and to showcase the reading achievements of our community's young people. In addition to supporting children reading independently, the program offers support to the family that reads together. All children will receive a raffle ticket when they sign up for the program. At the picnic finale tickets will be pulled at random and when their name is drawn, they will then be able to choose a prize at the summer reading store. Children unable to attend the picnic can come to the library anytime after the picnic to choose their prize. Children must register for the activities that require sign up to participate in that activity.
If you have any questions about the summer program or the Douglas Public Library services, please call me at 508-476-2695 or email me at

Sincerely,
Debbie Soderman
