Library's 2008 Summer Reading Program
Read Across Texas
This summer children of San Antonio are encouraged to join Mayor Phil
Hardberger and the San Antonio Public Library as they spend the summer
escaping the heat by spending the day reading.
Read Across Texas, is the library's 2008 summer reading
campaign. This activity is great for children of all ages, even those
who are not able to read yet are encouraged to sit down with a parent
or older sibling to have their imagination run wild. To be a part of
the program follow these easy steps:
Sign up online at
www.sanantonio.gov/library
or at your neighborhood library.
Pick up a reading log.
For each book you read (or listen to),
write the title on your Reading Log.
When you've read 15 books, bring your
reading log back to the library and you will be allowed choose a book to
keep, and you'll receive a special certificate signed by Mayor
Hardberger.
You're welcome to complete as many
Reading Logs as you want - but only one book-to-keep and one
certificate per reader, please!
The summer reading campaign is not the
only fun the library has to offer. Besides regular storytime hours, special
programs will include:
Magik Theatre: The Kingdom of Texas
Magik Theatre takes you back to the time when Texas was a wild
frontier and legends were being made. It’s a great show and you just
might learn a little history along the way.
Ranger Tom
Have you ever been to Mission San José? Can you name the other
missions in San Antonio? Come let Ranger Tom fill you in on the
treasures of our town. And, you can get a head start on your Junior
Ranger Badge at the same time!
Texas Tunes
Purly Gates is a singer on a mission — share the songs of Texas and
the West with as many kids as possible! Join Gates for a tuneful time
at the library.
Spikey Mikey
San Antonio’s favorite magician Mike Cruz brings his magic touch
to the library and to reading this summer.
Go Wild! Reading in the Rainforest
No, there aren’t any rainforests in Texas — but Mark Sheperd
doesn’t let that stop him. He’s got rainforest puppets, stories,
songs and silliness to share with San Antonio’s summer readers.
