Wichita Falls Public Library Heats Up with Summer Reading Programs
WFPL Challenges Children, Teens, and Adults to GO WILD Reading This Summer
Children (up to sixth grade) can sign up for WFPL Summer Reading on or after May 30. Children must have a library card and pick up a reading log available at the WFPL. Children should then track their reading time and report back to the library once they have completed five hours for a goodie bag of treats. Once children complete another ten hours of reading, for a total of 15 hours, they earn a certificate of completion. All hours must be completed by July 8.
Summer reading for teens (sixth grade to high school) and adults (high school and older) begins on or after May 31. Teens and adults may chose three age-appropriate books, and some AP students may chose to read books off their required reading list, to complete their summer reading. Teens and adults are responsible for writing short reviews of the books and turning the reviews either online or at the Adult Information Desk. Selected reviews may be posted on WFPL website with permission. Upon completion, teens and adults will receive a prize. All books and reviews must be completed by July 9.
WFPL also offers other programming this summer for children. Preschool storytime takes place every Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. and children's crafts takes place every Thursday from 2 to 4 p.m.
Teens can also find activities at WFPL, including a writing group, chess club, and movie group.
Finally, WFPL offers members a chance at online book clubs. Readers can sign up at the WFPL website.
For more information, please call WFPL at (940) 767-0868.
