Summer Programs
Book Bug Programs
Kids, ages 11 and under, can make a big splash this summer by taking place in the library’s Book Bug programs. Held six times throughout the summer, these programs keep kids engaged in reading throughout the summer months with programs that showcase some fun summer titles with games, activities, and programs that fit all ages.
Plus, attending 4 or more of the library programs qualifies participants for a field trip! This year’s trip is scheduled for Friday, August 12. The field trip will be to the Henry Vilas Zoo and the Madison Children’s Museum. More information regarding the field trip will be available in August.
Book Squad
A reading club for kids ages 6-10, that will meet five times throughout the summer at 4:00pm. Each meeting will have a theme, suggested books will be made based on that theme, but read whatever book you’d like!
