"Master the Art of
Reading" this summer at Rodman Public Library and explore the worlds of
art, books, and more. Get in touch with your creative side!
The 2009 Summer Reading Program is open to adults and offers programs, prizes, hands-on creative opportunities, and special events. The adult program will run from June 1 until August 29, concurrent with the children’s program, titled "Be Creative @ Your Library." Get your whole family involved!
The Library will offer programs for adults on basic card/scrapbook techniques, block printing for beginners, calligraphy, a talent show in cooperation with Carnation City Mall, folk music, quilting and more.
For each book read, patrons will receive a ticket on which to write their name and phone number. From these tickets, there will be weekly prize drawings. Adults must read six books to finish the program and be entered for the Grand Prize Drawing.
Registration begins on June 1. Join your local library and master the art of reading! No artistic talent or previous knowledge required. Most programs are free of charge.
