The Whitewright Public Library, in cooperation with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission, is pleased to announce the 2006 Texas Reading Club. The theme is “Reading: The Sport of Champions!”

 

The purpose of the Texas Reading Club is to promote reading, stimulate curiosity, and attract children to the library. The emphasis is on letting children read for fun and helping them to retain valuable reading skills during their summer vacations.

 

The Texas Reading Club is a self-paced reading program in which children keep track of the number of books they read, or have had read to them. Children can register at the library and begin counting books read between June 1^st and July 14^th.

 

There will also be an in-library program for Toddlers through Kindergarten graduates. The program will be held on Wednesdays, 10:30 a.m. - 11:15 a.m., on June 7, 14, 21, 28 and July 5 and 12.

 

A special closing program for all ages is planned for July 19^th at 2 p.m. The Creature Teacher will bring some of her animal friends to the library for children to learn about.
