The Summer Reading Club is designed to encourage young people to read over the summer holidays. When they register, participants receive a reading logbook in which they can keep track of their reading throughout the summer, along with activities they can do at home. During the months of June, July and August, all public libraries in the province will present various fun and entertaining activities. Participants will receive a certificate of achievement at the end of the summer.
The theme for this year’s Summer Reading Club is All Aboard! This year, children are invited to READ, DISCOVER, CREATE, and celebrate all methods of transportation at the library.

A library employee will bring the items out to you. 4) Read, enjoy, repeat! Public libraries are strong advocates of increasing literacy for all ages. Besides the lending of books and other materials, they strive to help develop literacy skills, especially for young children and their families, through the programs that they offer. Throughout the year there are many program options available at your local library. Here in Albert County, the Hillsborough Public Library proudly serves our community and patrons from outside of Hillsborough through to Alma and we will be offering many literacy programs in 2018.
Photos and story by Jennifer Shelby (originally posted Jan. 31st, 2017) Albert County’s Literacy Express is now up and running for its fourth year! A preschool for 3- and 4-year-olds, Literacy Express takes place on the second floor of Hillsborough’s Train Museum. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays kids are dropped off for a free, one-hour session led by Nancy Land, B. Ed, with help from her assistant, Lois Snider. By Erica Muise My husband Ira and I were both fortunate to grow up in book loving homes. When we had our son, Levi, in 2014 we knew we wanted to foster a love for reading and books at an early age. Being in a rural area I wasn’t sure how many programs we would have access to locally, but I was delighted to discover an abundance right here in Albert County. |
