Show Youth Reading Program Set For Summer FARMINGTON - Are your children eager for a "hot on the trails"-type adventure where they can explore the world from home? THAT'S THE option available to one and all from the Davis County Library, this summer, as they announce their summer reading program-" A Summer Sum-mer Reading Adventure." They'll have the choice of reading three adventures, adven-tures, and creatively deciding which ending they want their story to take. Stories that can be selected are "Mystery on a Winter Night," "Danger in the Library" or "Mystery of the Leather Bookmark." IN ADDITION, youngsters will be able to attend six 90 minute sessions at their area library. At the north branch, in Clearfield, it'll be offered from 2-3:30 2-3:30 p.m. on Thursdays, June 15-July 20; at headquarters head-quarters in Farmington, Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. -noon from June 15-July 20 and at south in Bountiful, Boun-tiful, 2-3:30 p.m. Wednesdays, June 15-July 20. In a handout to be given parents visiting the library explaining the program, the purpose behind the program prog-ram is "to help children develop positive attitudes toward reading. "WE DO not teach reading skill. We do not make children read a certain number of books. We do not reward children who read more books than other children. We do encourage children to be actively inquisitive and creative, and guide them to books which will help satisfy their curiosity and their need for enjoyable, high quality entertainment. In addition, youngsters can gain introduction to "the library experience and explore by doing" reading, read-ing, assisted by the programs and a booklet, "Dan-ger-Maze--A Summer Reading Adventure." THOSE COMPLETING the booklet and its "dangerous "dan-gerous pathway through adventure, and have completed com-pleted all the reading which the adventure required" will "earn the admiration of the library for courage and reading skill during the summer of 1983." tb |
