Library News, July 11, 2023

Heart of America Library would like to say THANK YOU to the Pierce County Fair for the Summer Reading Challenge. We had 37 kids earn a Read and Win ribbon and a coupon for a FREE wristband for rides at the fair. We enjoyed seeing the kids get excited about reading.

Heart of America Library would like to give an extra special THANK YOU to Mike and Jessalyn Ostrem for sponsoring the wristbands. We believe this reward made some new book lovers out of a few kids and reinforced the love of books with others. Your generosity has made such a big impact on the kids of OUR community.

Heart of America Library is hosting another opportunity for Summer Reading Camp this year; July 26, 27, 28 for one hour each day from 2 – 3 p.m. We had a great turn out in June with a total of 23 children. We invite kids grades one through six to join Miss Angela and the library staff for one more All Together Now Summer Reading Camp at the library. We will have more games, activities, and reading goals with a grand prize of a bike! Who doesn’t want to win a bike for reading books?? What if you can’t make it every day? That is ok! We’re glad to see you as often as you can make it.

We are going CrAzY at the Library on Thursday, July 13. ALL of our Used Books are FREE!

The literacy committee will be doing story hour one more time this summer on July 14 from 10:15 to 11:15 a.m. We will post reminders on Facebook and our website. Heart of America Library is hosting a Welcome to Kindergarten story hour for our friends who are going into Kindergarten for the 2023 – 2024 school year. Stay Tuned for more information!
