Children’s Summer Reading Program 2009 For years, generations of people have been curious about Space. What does the Universe look like? Does life exist on other planets? How can people travel in Space? The endless fascinating questions create an unlimited potential for exploration for the participants of the Children’s Summer Reading Program “Starship Adventure at Your Library,” offered by the Nahant Public Library from June 25 to August 13, 2009. The Library, located at 15 Pleasant Street in Nahant, welcomes young patrons of all ages to a variety of educational and entertaining events of the “Starship Adventure” during the Summer Reading Program. The celebration of the Summer Program begins with the interactive show “The Magic of Reading” by marvelous Jonathan Dark’s HiTop Magic on Thursday, June 25, 2008, at 3:00 p.m. Subsequently, the Nahant Public Library presents Mad Science® of Greater Boston amazing interactive workshops: “Rocket Demo,” “Life in the Sea,” and “Space... the Final Frontier” on Wednesdays, July 8, 15, and 22, at 10:30 a. m. Next, the Parents’ Choice Award winning performers Davis Bates & Roger Tincknell invite the kids and families to the concert on Wednesday, August 5, at 10:30 a.m. The Nahant Public Library concludes the celebration of the Summer Reading Program 2009 with the play “Pinocchio,” performed by Hampstead Theatre on Thursday, August 13, at 3:00 p.m. During the summer, the story hour program “Read with Your Kids” for children, aged 2 to 5, is available on Thursdays, at 11:00 a.m. Parents can call in advance (one week) to request the books they would like to read to the group of children, meet other parents and children, and have funny children’s book discussions. As usually, the Nahant Public Library offers a book collection for any sphere of interest, age, and taste. Please look for our postings and updates about other summer reading activities. To participate in the Summer Reading Program, please call (781-581-0306) or walk by to register and pick up your Reading Record form. Borrow books to read, fill out your Reading Record (which is short and simple), bring it to the library, and collect your prizes, such as bookmarks or special pencils. Certificates will be awarded to active participants who read 20 or more books. A winner obtains a grand surprise. “Starship Adventure” materials are sponsored by the Library, the Massachusetts Regional Library Systems, and the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners. The Nahant Public Library is grateful to the Friends of the Library and the Nahant Cultural Council for financial support. All programs are free for the community. However, in return, twenty years from now, we expect the participants of the Summer Reading Program “Starship Adventure at the Nahant Public Library” to find some answers to the questions about Space and Time which are unknown today. |
