Summer Reading Club to begin at Nocona Library
The Summer Reading Club at Nocona Public Library will take place July 1 and run throughout the month to July 31.
This is a free program open to children ages three to 12. Children can register at the library through July 15. Students are encouraged to enjoy reading as part of their summer break.
Coupons for free ice cream cones will be awarded to each child as they complete and return reading logs. There will be a party in August for all registered participants.
Also part of its summer program, the library staff will conduct summer story time for children of all ages. It will take place at 10 a.m. starting July 10 and be on the following Thursdays during July. Lots of activities and crafts are planned.
You do not have to be a registered participant in the summer reading club to attend storytime.
