Kewanna-Union Township Public Library

Libraries Rock!

2018 SUMMER READING PROGRAM THEME

Readers of all ages will explore all things musical this summer as Kewanna Union Township Public Library presents “Libraries Rock” during their summer library program. Activities may include, group games, musical crafts, art projects, science and engineering experiments, and more.

The 2018 Summer Reading Program is open to young people, birth through young adult, with programs, prize drawings, story times, and more.

Registration for “Libraries Rock” begins on May 29 and the summer reading program will end on July 23.

Teen Tech Week will be celebrated March 4-10 at Kewanna Public Library.  “Libraries are for Creating” is the theme of Teen Tech Week this year.  The library’s weekly teen group, Teens in Town will be hosting activities for Teen Tech Week that include a Tech Show, Texting Contest, and Tech Trivia.

Teen Tech Week promotes digital resources within libraries across the country that are available for teens and their families.  The purpose of Teen Tech Week is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of digital media, especially the nonprint resources offered through libraries, such as e-books, databases, audiobooks, and social media.

Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries’ nonprint resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.
