Catch the Reading Bug!
Children of all ages are invited to join the Dane County Library Service Summer Reading Program. Children may set their own reading goals (suggested goal: ten books or ten hours). The Summer Reading Program allows children to earn a small prize and a free pass to the Madison Mallards and a Wisconsin State Park Pass. Register starting June 16 and return your reading record by September 2 to earn your prize.
In addition to the reading program activities for school age children, Dane County Library Service has arranged for the following family programs at various locations within the bookmobile’s service area.
