This year, children are invited to celebrate fantasy at the library under the slogan “Reading is Fantastic!” The Summer Reading Club is designed to encourage young people to read over the summer holidays. When they register, participants receive a reading logbook to keep track of their reading throughout the summer. Participants will receive a certificate of achievement at the end of the summer. During July and August, all public libraries in the province will present various in-person or online/virtual fun and entertaining activities. The Summer Reading Club is intended for all young New Brunswickers. Registration for the 2021 Summer Reading Club has started at the Hillsborough Public Library. Children who do not know how to read can participate by having a parent/ guardian read to them. Also, children can register online at gnb.ca/publiclibraries. Follow the Hillsborough Public Library on Facebook or sign up for its email newsletter to keep up to date with the latest information. By Kimberly McKinley The joy of reading is an inherited and comforting pastime passed down from my mother, Ramona. Reading was strongly encouraged by my past teachers while attending Alma Consolidated and Caledonia Regional High School. The Alma School library was a space to get excited about ‒ pulling a book off the shelf to explore its contents made life a little more interesting and helped me connect to a world bigger than the nearby lullaby shores of Waterside Beach. The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series had many gaps in their section as everyone was scrambling to see what Frank and Joe Hardy's next adventure would entail, or if Nancy would solve the mystery as a skillful sleuth. There would be an occasional eye-roll from your peers if you remained in the Apple Paperback series beyond age thirteen. It was time to move on to Stephen King’s IT, perhaps Alice Walker’s The Color Purple and, one of my favourites as a young adult, The Diary of Anne Frank, written by the young girl hidden behind the bookcase, Anne Frank herself. |
