Step Right Up and Read: June 5th through July 31st.
Come one, come all to this year’s Summer Reading Program. Grab your whole family and get ready! The Marengo-Union Library District invites everyone ages 1-100, to Step Right Up and Read. Easily keep track of your progress by visiting muldreads.readsquared.com. Don’t want to complete a virtual log? Stop in to pick up a paper log at the Front Desk OR PRINT ONE HERE .
To complete the program, participants will need to earn 1,000 points. Points can be earned by completing activities, which vary by program, and reading each week over an 8 week period. Kids (and adults who are kids at heart) will enjoy adding circus characters to the back wall as they progress in their reading each week. Once you’ve reached the half-way point (500 points), you will receive a book and when you have completed the program you will win a prize!
We will also offer all kinds of in-person activities. Each week, we will feature a new carnival game for you to test your luck with. Be sure to also take a look at the program guide for more upcoming events!
Looking for something to read, watch or listen to while you complete the program? The Library offers a variety of digital resources such as Hoopla, Overdrive (Libby App), Inkie.org Library and eRead Illinois (coming July 2023). You have until July 31st to complete the program!
