Summer Reading Program!
June 27 - September 3
Grades PreK - 6th
Join Wilton Library this summer for our
Reading is Out of This World! Summer Reading Program. Children can register on
Wandoo Reader, an online reading log to keep track of their reading anywhere they go as long as they have an internet connection. By reading, logging, and completing challenges, kids will be eligible for benchmark prizes throughout the summer. The
Reading is Out of This World! program stimulates kids' imaginations with wonderful stories and fun activities while learning about space. Drop-in story times, drop-in activities, large-group enrichment and entertainment programs and animal visits are just some of the events planned though August 24. Think of us as your free stay-at-home summer camp experience. The summer reading program is funded by John and Susan Steitz, with STEAM programs made possible by the Amadeo Family. Reading prizes are sponsored by the following local area businesses: Sky Zone, Goldenberry, Party Zoom, Subway, Toy Chest, Beardsley Zoo, and Scoops. The reading portion of the program runs from June 27 - September 3.

Miss Andrea recommends Lesser Spotted Animals by Martin Brown
Have you ever heard of a zorilla or a dagger-toothed flower bat? In this illustrated nonfiction title kids will have a chance to learn about a variety of animals most people have never heard of. The introduction sets the tone, which is very silly. Even though the tone is silly the information within is accurate and concise. Children will learn from the book and most likely want to look up more facts about the animals. Each animal is illustrated in amusing ways, some even with tongue-in-cheek speech bubbles. I highly recommend this title for reluctant readers and animal lovers in grades 3 and up. I looked up every animal!
