We have great giveaways (*while supplies last) for each group (see below for more information). There will also be face painting, BINGO, a photo booth, and Potts and Pans Steelband…fun activities for the whole family!
Children Ages Birth Through 5th Grade:
Yes, babies can participate in the Summer Reading Program! We have a tube of bubbles for infants that sign up (*while supplies last), and the first 200 children to register for Read to the Rhythm will receive a fabulous beach mat. Children who complete the program by August 8 will receive a paperback book of their choice and be eligible for a variety of exciting raffle prizes. Children who finish the reading program after it officially ends on Saturday, August 8 will still receive a paperback book of their choice.
