Summer Reading Program 2022

Our theme this summer is Read Beyond the Beaten Path!

The program itself is simple: You read and earn prizes!  There is no registration for this program or any of our events.  Everyone is invited to participate!  All events are open to anyone, but prizes are only available for kids entering pre-school and up. Storytime is geared towards ages Kindergarten and under and Kids Lego Club is for ages 17 and under. 
As always, library programs are FREE!
​​

Every child that attends Iowa Falls Schools, pre-school through 5th grade, will get a packet sent home with them from the school! 
​If you don't attend IF schools, please click this link for the full packet.

Reading Calendars

Keep track of how many minutes you read (no matter how many) during June and July! 
​Anytime you read, listen to an audiobook, or someone reads to you write down your minutes on the calendar. 
 At the end of July return your sheet and you can pick a book from our librarian’s selections that the library will purchase. It will be yours to keep!

Calendars must be returned to the library by August 3rd.
