The Warner Library in Clinton is gearing up for its annual summer reading club.

It should be a fun summer says Emily Dunham with the Warner Library. June 1 is when registration for summer reading begins and this year the Library is ushering in the program with a big kickoff event.

According to Dunham, when readers come into the library to get registered, they'll receive a tracker that will show their progress throughout the summer. Each age group will have its own milestones to make throughout the summer. 

The theme this year is 'Read. Renew. Repeat.' with a theme of conservation. According to Dunham, they are focused on conservation and being thrifty with some of the things they're doing this year.

There is so much happening at the library this summer with several programs each week of the summer. Dunham adds there will be ongoing activities that will be available. Some programs will center around the theme of 'Read. Renew. Repeat.'

Executive Director of the Library, Bobbi Perryman, indicates the summer reading club, while providing a fun outlet for kids to continue reading, is also a great program to help prevent the summer slide - where kids fall back in their progress made during the school year.

The Summer Reading Club again kicks off on June 1. You can register at the Warner Library any time throughout the summer. It is a free program and you do not have to have a library card to participate - although library staff hopes you'll get signed up for one if you do not have one already.
