Youth Services September Update

06 Feb Youth Services September Update

The Great Falls Public Library’s Youth Services Department would like to congratulate all of the kids, teens, and families who made Summer Reading, 2019 a success. Keep your family’s reading momentum going this Fall with Manga Club, a new reading and art club for preteens and teens 10 to 14, two monthly meetings of Word Warriors Writing Club, including a new Thursday afternoon session to better accommodate more families’ schedules, and the new Study & Chill relaxation and study program just for teens every other Friday at 4:00. New programs introduced this summer, like Pajama Storytime, Teen Crafts & Games, Family Game Night, and Family Makerspace will continue into the Fall, and STEAM Challenge and Wednesday afternoon crafts will be back next year for Summer Reading, 2020. Books & Babies, Page Turners Book Club, and Dumbledore’s Army will be discontinued to make way for new programs to better meet our community’s needs.

This September, the Youth Services Department will launch a 1000 Books Before Kindergarten program to help Cascade County babies and kids 5 and under build early literacy skills and get ready for kindergarten. Pick up a reading log in Kids’ Place. Kids will earn reward stickers for every 100 books they read, and repeat readings count!
