Simi Valley Library Summer Reading Program

Reading Is So Delicious

July 4, 2013

Everyone knows how important it is to keep your children reading through the summer months. And this year’s Summer Reading Program—with the irresistible theme of “Reading Is So-o-o-o Delicious!”—is going to be one of the tastiest we’ve ever had, full of delectable goodies and fun-filled special events designed to keep youngsters engaged in reading all summer long.

We are launching the Summer Reading Program on Monday, July 1, to coincide with the re-opening of the Simi Valley Public Library. On that date, children are invited to come to the library and get their reading logs and a big stack of books and start reading. To help us get started, we are going to have the famous Mr. Nifty Balloon Show at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.—fun for kids of all ages (adults will love it, too!).

Throughout the summer—as children fill out their reading logs and bring them in for prizes—the library will be offering a series of great summer fun programs. Come join us for these great activities:
