Bordeaux Branch of Cumberland County Public Library visited Glendale Acres, May 22, 2017, to launch their Summer Reading Program. This year’s theme for students through fifth grade is Ready, Set: Read! . The program runs from June 1 to August 15, 2017. To participate in the summer reading program, students were given a reading log to track the time they spend reading. As they reach their reading goals, they will be eligible for a variety of prizes. Students can earn prizes when they reach four, eight, twelve, and twenty-four hours of reading. This includes reading independently, having someone read to them or attending a library program. Prizes include toys, books, a book bag and a C.C. Leopard certificate of reading accomplishment. We hope all our Glendale Bears will participate and keep reading this summer!
