Summer Reading @ JCPL - Imagine Your Story is here

Printer-friendly

In consideration of COVID-19 public health emergency and social distancing, the Jasper County Public Library has restructured its Summer Reading Program.

This year’s program - Imagine Your Story - will be held virtually July 1st-31st, and will feature an online tool to track your reading called Engaged Patrons Online Summer Reading Program.

This tool will be available for kids entering grades K-5, teens entering grades 6-12, and adults 18 and over. All ages can register at www.myjcpl.org/summer-reading to get started tracking their reading minutes.

Children and teens will have the opportunity to win prizes and can be entered into a grand prize drawing at the end of the program.

Children in the K-5 Online Summer Reading Program will be able to watch a performance by Science Tellers on a special website. A Preschool Bingo sheet for ages 2-5 will be available to download from our website or picked up from the library.

The Preschool Bingo sheet includes all five early literacy skills: singing, talking, reading, writing, and playing. Once the card is completed, kids will return it to the library to earn prizes. Our Youth Services staff is currently creating a virtual program for teens to attend as well.

Adults will have the opportunity to win weekly prizes and be entered into a grand prize drawing at the end of the program. For every book, magazine, or audiobook read or listened to adults will get an entry into the drawings.

E-materials count too,so don’t forget to check out our materials on Overdrive/Libby and Hoopla.

If you prefer, participants of all ages, may contact the library and make arrangements to pickup a paper version of the summer reading program.
