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.
Let's Get Reading and Be Creative!
Ask A Librarian
Are you looking for a special gift for the little reader in your life? Is there a book that they just have to have to read again and again? Have you been thinking, "how can I help support my wonderful library?" Well, you are in luck. Just in time for the Holidays, the Scholastic Book Fair has returned!
The Scholastic Book Fair runs from Tuesday, December 2nd through Saturday, December 13th during regular library hours. All proceeds go to Friends of the Library to help provide programming and events.
So brings the kids and come on in to browse and support your library.
Get them while they last!
It's finally here! The Friends of the Land O' Lakes Library are holding a gigantic two day book sale. Find those great reads at stellar prices: paperbacks, hard covers, magazines and more. Get something for yourself, for a friend, or a family member. The holidays are just around the corner!
All proceeds go to fund library programming for all ages.
Saturday, October 25th from 10:00am-5:00pm & Monday, October 27th from 12:00-8:00pm.
Come on out, do some shopping and support your library!
Would you like to travel back in history and learn what it was like to live in another time period? Can you image being left alone to work off your family's debt at the age of thirteen? Or work in harsh conditions and never really be free?
This is what happened in the novel Lyddie by Katherine Paterson. Read the book beforehand and then join us for a discussion with related crafts and activities for that time period.
Saturday, October 25th at 2:00pm.
No prior registration. Elementary ages.
Interested in getting together with your friends and talking about books? Join us each month to discuss a popular fiction novel.
This month we will be discussing Inkheart by Cornelia Funke on Wednesday, November 12th from 6:00-8:00pm.
Future books will be given out in advance and then discussed at the meetings.
For ages 9-12 years.
We'd love to see you!
