Summer Reading Program
Our 2025 Reading Program theme is…. Unearth a Story!
More information on the Summer Reading Program:
Signing up:
To sign up your kiddos for this splendid program you first have to make sure that they are within the age requirements. – Age requirements: Birth through just completed 5th grade.
Next you will need to obtain a library card here in Dallas County. You will come in and ask the staff to sign up your kid(s) and they will give you a sheet to fill out. Then you are DONE!
Reading Logs:
Reading logs are what we use to track how much your child has been reading or how much you read to them. We always wanna keep those numbers up for them to have a great imagination and insight to literature! Each child receives a reading log sheet on June 4th (the first day of summer reading). These logs can be picked up and dropped off any time throughout the duration of the program.
Once your child completes a reading log they will receive a prize! The more reading logs they turn in the bigger the prizes will be!
Program Details:
The program will be held from June 4th throughout July 23rd. The program will have story-times and crafts every Thursday at 10:00 a.m. at the library, unless otherwise noted differently. Our special guests will be held at Calvary Chapel Free Will Church (with signs to guide you). – June 4th: Talon Farrar, Buffalo City Police Department Reading (held at the library) – June 11th: Wonders of Wildlife @ Calvary Chapel – June 18th: Marty the Magician @ Calvary Chapel – June 25th: Betsy Earls, America’s 250th Birthday Celebration @ Library.
