I wanted to pass along a few summer reading programs that you and your kids could take advantage of this summer. I had been holding off posting this until National Amusements had their dates for this year posted.
You may also want to check with your local library. They often run summer reading programs too. Our library's (Dayton Metro Library) program starts June 2nd and runs through August 2 - for ages Preschool through Grade 6. Kids get prizes for time spent reading and are entered into drawings. Prizes: 1 hour = bug pencil, 8 hours = prize from Bug box, 15 hours = Catch the Reading Bug water bottle along with the Library Champion yard sign, a dragonfly bookmark and an activity book with coupons and a certificate. Every hour over 15 = a chance to win a gift card to Books & Co., family trips to Carillon Historical Park, the IMAX Theater, Cincinnati Zoo, SunWatch Indian Village or Boonshoft.
