Silver Birch, Red Maple and Yellow Cedar Reading Clubs (Grades 3 to 8) |
|
The Selwyn Public Library offers the Forest of Reading Programs from the Ontario Library Association. At our clubs children will choose books from a Canada-wide reading list and need to “read” at least 5/10 of the titles to vote for their favourite author at the end of the program. Children may listen to audio books and be read to as well as read the titles themselves. At the programs we talk about the books, complete fun book-related activities, and sign out books to read at home. Children will be able to return and select books outside of club meetings whenever the library is open (these books are only available for club members). Your child will require a library card to be a club member. |
