Summer Reading Rocks for Kids

Summer Reading at the Coeur d’Alene Public Library will wrap up in July with a family event in the
Savina Darzes
Community Room on July 31, at 1 p.m., “Seaside Tunes & Tales.”
Savina Darzes, an environmental educator will use stories and songs to share facts and folklore about the ocean.
“Libraries Rock” is the theme for Summer Reading at the Coeur d’Alene and Lake City Public libraries with a series of weekly and special programs continuing through July.
Reading logs are available and children can track the time they spend reading, or being read to, and for each three hours receive a prize. Reading logs and prizes are also available at the Lake City branch – operating this summer from the school library at Skyway Elementary.
Also, each time children visit the Seagraves Children’s Library, they will have the opportunity to vote for their school. For each 50 votes a school receives, its library will receive a book for its collection.
