Upcoming Programs at Sterling Public Library

***Press Release***

Summer Reading is in full swing at Sterling Public Library.  We have lots of fun activities planned for kids of all ages this summer. 

Each Monday at 2:00 p.m. we will provide Dig Up Some Fun @ The Library.  During the programs we will dig into a different adventure each week.

During our first program on Monday June 3^rd we will dig into gardening.  We will make an unusual flower pot and insert our flowers.

We will again have special rewards for kids participating in the Monday programs and checking out a book. Each week that they attend one of the programs on Monday they will also receive part to the book worm.  It is not required that you attend every week, but come as often as you can.  Registration is not required. 

Each Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. Sterling Public Library is again offering a special program for kids age 10 through 15 called Dig Deep Art Challenge.  This is an eight week program that focuses on different art techniques each week.  The program will last at least 1 hour.  These programs will be more in-depth than the usual programs offered during the summer, teaching them various skills and techniques needed to complete a project. You may attend any or all of the programs. You must register for each program individually.  Registration begins the Wednesday before the program.  You may call 522-2023 to register.  Classes are limited to 24.

The first Art Challenge will be on June 4^th.  During our first week we will be painting flower pots.  We will also learn a little bit about gardening as we plant vegetables outside in the courtyard and flowers in our new pots.

On Wednesday, June 5^th at 7:00 p.m. we will Dig into Books by focusing on book illustrator Scott Nash. Scott provided the artwork used for the Summer Reading Program.  The program will be fun for kids of all ages.  Denise will be sharing some of the books Scott has illustrated.  We will complete a craft related to one of Scott’s summertime books.

If you haven’t signed up and started reading, be sure to come to the library and get signed up.  As you keep track of the time you read Sterling Public Library books, you will be earning prizes and working toward attending the closing program.  Be sure to join us for a great summer!
