The Hancock Public Library will host a Summer Reading Program with the theme “A Universe of Stories.
The program features a fun summer of reading, prizes, activities and presentations.
A kick-off event will be held this Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm with space-themed crafts and a snack while participants sign up and get their reading logs.
Registration is also open all summer long. Summer Reading Programs encourage summer reading with prizes along the way, including a free soft-serve cone from Milly’s, a free Bubbler drink from K.C. Bonkers and a free book.
There will be space-themed storytimes on the library’s regular schedule (the first Tuesday of every month at 1:00pm), as well as additional storytimes and presentations. Mark your calendars now for August 2 when they will host StarLab from 1-3:00 pm! And John Haeussler, the former Mayor of Hancock, will begin a series of historical presentations about Hancock on July 24 with “Fire, Miners, Elephants: Hancock in Pictures and Words 1860-1940.”
The Summer Reading Program is open to all ages, children through adults, and reading logs may include books, magazines, audio books, reading to young children, and being read to.
Library programs are free and everyone is welcome. For more information, please call the library at 906-487-4925, ext 5 or check us out on facebook.
