Warner Library Kicks Off Summer Reading Club Tuesday

The first day of summer for Clinton youth ushers in the 2021 summer reading club at the Warner Library in Clinton.

 

Corey Campbell is the children's librarian and says every person of any age is welcome. This year's program and its milestones will largely be based on your age. From time spent reading to how many books you've read, it really depends on what level of a reader you are.

 

 

Part of the fun of the summer reading club is the prizes for milestones achieved during the summer. Campbells says their prizes for kids do not vary a great deal from one group to the next. Business Manager Samantha Rusk explains they have a lot of fun things for their adult readers.

 

 

Many kids and families look forward to the terrific programs that draw sizeable crowds. Unfortunately because of the challenges of planning for the summer when organizers did, those programs are not going to happen this year. Campbell stresses they plan to bring those back next year and emphasizes those are not going away.

 

 

After a scaled-down version of the summer reading club last year, Campbell says they were committed to having a program this year. 

 

 

Campbell indicates the summer reading club is instrumental in continuing the things kids, especially young kids, have learned in the school setting through the summer. He points out the 'summer slide' is very real and helps kids keep their skills sharp.

 

 

Campbell says registration will cut off at the end of July, so he hopes families and kids will feel invited to come in and begin at any time. Get more information by visiting vwarner.org, calling 217-935-5174, or stopping into their facility at 310 North Quincy Street in Clinton.
