The Pasco County Library System Summer Reading Program is starting soon!
This year the Summer Reading Program theme is "Express Yourself" and all of our programs will have a theme of creativity and self-expression. The Land O' Lakes Library will have numerous programs each week for all age groups as follows: Babies and Toddlers ages 0-5 years, Elementary ages 5-9, Tween ages 9-12 and Teen ages 12-18.
Here's how the program works:
Registration begins on May 26th. To register, fill out a free reading club contract at any library branch or online at www.pascolibraries.org. Readers receive a prize just for registering!
Then you can begin reporting on your books on June 6th. Books are reported and tracked using the account created on the library's website. You only need to read six books by July 25th. Readers will receive a prize for each book read AND a prize for completing their commitment. If you read and report on six books or more, you become a Pasco County Library System Star Reader. All Star Readers will be invited to a final party with certificates and rewards for all!
We'll be offering a variety of programs and giveaways all summer, so stay tuned for a list of events and then drop in as often as possible.

Pilgrim in the Land Of Alligators: Modern Floridians in the Age of Dinosaurs - Saturday, April 25th, 2:00pm

Well bring all your questions as we'll be joining St. Petersburg Times columnist and author, Jeff Klinkenberg, who will talk about the fascinating encounters with alligators and other stories about the "real Florida" as discussed in his new book, Pilgrim In the Land of Alligators.

The Land O' Lakes Library is THE place to be for all things not prom. You don't need a date, you don't need a fancy dress or tux, and you don't have to spend a ton of money. We'll be decorating with spoofs of prom decor, spiking the punch with Monster, and dancing to a DJ who will be spinning his own remixes plus your requests. How often do you get to hear what you want at a prom?
We'll also be smashing a disco ball pinata and crowning a reverse king and queen.
Best of all, it's free! How cool is that?
Friday, May 8th from 7:00-10:00pm.
Teens only. Refreshments provided.
Moms, bring the kids and enjoy an afternoon just for you! It's our annual Mother's Day Tea Party. We'll be having tea, cocoa and cookies, making fun crafts and playing games, all in your honor!
