Summer Reading Program at Lepper Library

“Adventure Begins At Your Library” this summer as the Lepper Library hosts their annual Summer Reading Program from Saturday, June 1 to Monday, July 22nd, 2024. This year’s theme recognizes that adventure is waiting for you at the library. The Summer
Reading Program is an annual event that is free for all ages.
For the Adults, no registration is required, we have made it easy to participate and be great examples for the children in our
community! For every book you read, you will receive an entry ticket for a chance to win a prize. There will be weekly reading
challenges for a chance to receive a small prize along with an extra entry ticket. Many prizes have been generously donated by area businesses. In July, join us in an adventure in Line Dancing! Or listen as Meredith Deichler shares with us her adventures in travel. She will also give a short introduction into the Spanish language.

For the kids, we’re starting this year’s program with a Summer Reading Luau Party. Stop by the library, register for summer reading, and meet some adventure loving characters. There will be a tiki mask craft, a chance to show off your hula hooping moves, and a cool treat will be provided.

Teen Adventures in Cooking – Join OSU Extension staff as they offer a weekly cooking class at the library. The program runs from
June 5th-July 17th on Wednesdays from 1-2 pm. (No class on June 19th). Spaces are limited registration is for students entering
6th-12th grade.

Teen Adventures in Cooking was possible.
Story Stroll
Along with the Summer Reading Program, Lepper Library will present two Story Strolls. The first story
features I Went Walking by Sue Williams and illustrator Julie Vivas. This simple, funny read-aloud
follows a boy’s exciting stroll through the countryside. The boy sees a black cat, then a brown horse, then a red cow, and so on, and before he knows it, he’s being trailed by the entire menagerie!
In July, the second story features In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Flemming. If you were a fuzzy caterpillar crawling through the tall, tall grass on a sunny afternoon, what would you see? Follow the tiny tour guide as he inches his way through the pages of this book. You’ll see ants and bees and birds–hip-hopping
bunnies too.
Each Story Stroll begins along the Greenway Trail in Lisbon beyond the ‘0’ mile marker. Then will be moved to the Lisbon Exercise Trail near the pool.
