Summer Reading Program

SUMMER READING FUN: Merrick Public Library Summer Reading 2017

The summer reading theme this year is Build a Better World. 

 BUILD WITH US! Thanks to a grant from the Brookfield Community Club, we have Magnatiles, Magformers, and wooden blocks to play with! Starting June 23, drop in Thursdays and Fridays from 1 to 4.

 READ WITH US! Sign up for summer reading! We are again doing a joint program with the Brookfield Elementary School. The school and library will hand out the same reading chart. Read as much as you can! When your chart is full, bring it to the library: we will stamp it and give you a prize. Brookfield Elementary School students can use the same chart twice—after you get it stamped at the Merrick Public Library, turn it in at school for another prize. Summer reading starts when school gets out (June 22) and ends when school starts up again (August 29). Open to all ages.

BUILD WITH US! Thanks to a grant from the Brookfield Community Club, we have Magnatiles, Magformers, and wooden blocks to play with! Starting June 23, drop in Thursdays and Fridays from 1 to 4.
