Kids everywhere, we couldn't hear the story! We haven't been back. At least I won't feel bad when we go back to work and school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-875056 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 16:26:12 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 875056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I had no idea they had a baby summer reading program until we went for a story time a few weeks ago. It's got "read" as an activity, but also you earn "points" for singing songs, letting your baby turn the pages, going to a storytime, etc. There's 3 levels of prizes - a finger puppet, a squishy toy, and a book at the end. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-874907 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 15:28:42 +0000 T-Mom 874907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure my library does this and this is a great idea to do with my DD. thanks for the suggestion! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-874716 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:15:10 +0000 fancyfunction 874716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our library's baby storytime is starting up again after a 3 week hiatus. I used to love the summer reading program when I was a kid too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-874712 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 14:13:52 +0000 autumnlove 874712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our story hour has an age requirement of 3. I wonder if I can crash with my 18 month old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-874640 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:43:11 +0000 immabeetoo 874640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: They ought to do storytimes during the weekends so working parents can go :/ Ours are during the weekday too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-874625 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:38:47 +0000 regberadaisy 874625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our library doesn't even have story hour during the weekend so I don't know. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-874621 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 13:37:38 +0000 immabeetoo 874621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chanzi: Ours has an adult one too, the prize drawing is for good stuff so I'm going to do it... all it entails is adding up points for books read and it includes books read to kids so I'm good to go! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-874442 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 12:26:28 +0000 chanzi 874442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine does; I will definitely do it when LO is born! I signed up for the adult program last summer but didn't really participate so I'm not bothering with that this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-doing-your-librarys-summer-reading-program#post-874076 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 10:00:23 +0000 immabeetoo 874076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been going to baby storytimes and found out this week they have a reading program for the babies too! Free board books! I was pumped, I figured reading programs started at preschool age. </p> <p>Does your library do this?? </p>
