With us being on vacation last week we missed the first week of our local libraries, Summer Reading Program.  No worries, though we signed up yesterday!

After signing up each one of my boys were able to pick a dinosaur egg with a suggested book to read such as “Read a book about the stars”.  The picture above is my littlest one putting in his entry in for a Kalahari gift card since he wanted to read his suggested book about summer right there in the library!  I was even able to enter to win a gift card to Target for checking out 5 or more children’s book.  You know how much I LOVE Target!

The Summer Reading Program is one of our favorite frugal activities to do as a family.  Since most libraries programs are already underway and run an average of 4-6 weeks, you’ll want to sign up soon.  What’s great is that most libraries usually open this program up to all members of the family from baby to adult. Even before our oldest was able to read, our library allowed my son to earn points for the books that I read to him.  Many libraries even offer a teen and adult summer reading program which will also offer drawings, prizes and more. Depending on your library you may be offered weekly reading rewards, chances to win prizes, or even an end of the season party.

Of course, don’t forget to sign up for the FREE classes, programs, and story times that your local library offers too.  While we were at our library yesterday, my boys we so excited to participate in a dinosaur search all around the children’s area.  Once they found each dinosaur’s picture they were able to snag a sucker!
