On Thursday, July 18^th at 3:00 p.m. is our last Ground Breaking Snacks for kids grades 6 through 12.  This is a time for young adults to get together share a cool treat and talk.  The group can discuss movies, books, games or topics of their choice.  Meet your friends for a great time at the library.

We are more than half way through the Summer Reading Program at Sterling Public Library.  There is still time to register and start reading.  Did you know that the use of the public library during the summer is more predictive of vocabulary gains than attending summer school.  This is just one reason to read for fun during the summer.  Remember if you are borrowing books from Overdrive and downloading them to your e-reader, these books also count for your reading time.

If you have been reading and haven’t turned in time yet, it is a great time to come in and log your time.  July 26^th is the last day to turn in reading time.  Those who complete 6 levels are eligible to come to the closing program.  This year’s closing program theme is pirates.
