Lambton County Library branches are ready to encourage children to Discover Your Passions during their Summer Reading Programs, July 3 to August 19. Programs have been planned to entice participants to dabble in art and photography, create with LEGO, and explore technology with Makerspace.
Participants can collect stickers with the TD Summer Reading Club's bilingual passport to record their individual reading progress. Children are eligible to win a book prize for every five books read to a maximum of four prizes per participant. Plus, children can qualify to enter their name in a draw for a chance to win a prize pack! To qualify for the draw, participants need to talk to branch staff about a book they are reading, attend one of the many programs available, or submit a photo of their craft, created at the library or at home, to www.lclibrary.ca.
Teens, ages 13 - 17, are invited to get creative and express themselves with the 'Wear Your Passions' contest. Lambton County Library is looking for teens to submit an original T-shirt design, either drawn freehand on paper or with the use of computer software and submit it to the Library website at www.lclibrary.ca before August 19, 2018. Voting on the designs by the public will open on August 20, and will close August 26 at 11:59 p.m. The grand prize winner will have their design printed on a custom T-shirt. As well, the winner will receive the 'Wear Your Passions' prize pack that includes a $25 gift card to The Book Keeper, an Emoji Party game, and four white T-shirts with fabric markers. Note: Designs will be reviewed before they are posted publicly. Participants retain the rights to their original design.
Adults too can participate with the Adult Summer Reading Program and enter their name in a draw to win one of eight $50 gift certificates from locally owned independent businesses.
