Learn about Summer Reading programs for all ages...

Whitman County Library invites you to participate in free, fun and educational Summer Reading programs. It is for all ages and it is for you! Youth who read (or are read to) 10 books or 10 hours during the summer qualify for prizes following the last exciting library program. Teens and adults can also participate by reading and reviewing three books over the summer. Prizes for completion include coffee drinks or other treats donated by local vendors and a chance at county-wide grand prize certificates.

Join us as readers are transformed into scientists this summer as the Whitman County Library presents, “Fizz, Boom, Read!” during the 2014 Summer Reading program. Activities include visits from area science museums and scientists, WSU Birds of Prey, Lego contests, magicians, robot building and more. The Summer Reading Program is open to ages zero through adult with exciting presentations, fantastic prizes, and educational Storytimes.

Last year, more than 5,000 reading hours were logged by youth completing the Summer Reading requirements while enjoying free library programs and unforgettable entertainment. Thanks to support from the Friends of the Library, local merchants and individual donations, libraries countywide are offering lots of incentives to read. These include everything from free food and certificates, gift baskets, Palouse Empire Fair wristbands, to Sprint Boat tickets.
