This summer be sure to check out all of the fun activities and programs being offered at the Martensville Library.
Registration for the TD Summer Reading Club opens on June 24th and the club will run from July 1- August 31 for kids 12 and under. This is a great opportunity to keep up those reading skills while school’s out and also earn entries to win some amazing prizes through the local library or one of the Wheatland Regional Library grand prizes. Track reading minutes using paper trackers and/or the Beanstack App and then drop into the library to share your progress throughout the summer.
There will also be Adult & Teen Summer Reading Challenges taking place throughout July and August. Contact the Martensville Library for more details.
The local library will also once again be taking part in the Wheatland Reading Cup Challenge to see who among the Wheatland Regional Libraries can reach their community reading minute goal. Last year, the Martensville branch had a total of 655,409 minutes read.
There will be a Wheatland Storybook Trail located within Veterans Square during several weeks this summer. Stop in to walk the square and read the story panels. From June 17-22 you can see the story ‘Gigantic’ by Rob Biddulph about a small whale with a big heart. Other dates for Storybook Trails will be July 8-13, July 22-27 and August 12-17.
Storytime in the Park will take place at Andrea’s Park, across the street from the Civic Centre, on July 4, 11, 18 and 25, and August 1, 8, 15 and 22. Drop in to sing songs and listen to stories in the park, weather permitting.
