Calling all young artists, musicians and dancers! Want the scoop on this summer's reading program? Ready to be inspired, create, and have fun? You've come to the right place - it's time to BE CREATIVE @ YOUR LIBRARY Starting June 5, stop by the Oak Park Public Library to get started.
If you're going into first through sixth grade, you'll receive a Record Folder, which will let you keep track of your reading, reading reviews, and challenges. Complete 12.5 hours of reading and 10 activities throughout the summer to get your final prizes!
Kids younger than first graders are welcome to participate in BE CREATIVE @ YOUR LIBRARY, too - and fill in your own reading record with stickers.
You can read anything you like (at
your reading level), including magazines and graphic novels. Listening to audiobooks
and reading aloud to someone else counts, too.
Volunteers
will be helping at the Library this summer! They will help with special
programs, create summer reading displays, write book reviews, read aloud
to younger children, decorate the Library, and promote the summer reading
program. Learn more.
Bring your Record Folder or reading record to any Oak
Park Public Library location to check in. Show off your creative challenges
or book reviews, and earn prizes along the way. You can work on
BE CREATIVE @ YOUR LIBRARY at home,
at the Library, and on vacation. 
The Library has tons of fun stuff planned for this summer - like Inspiration Stations, dance classes, and storytimes for younger children. Plus, visits from The Holy Goat African Drummer, Wonderworks Museum, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Federation. Be sure to ask us for all the details and visit often. Need further inspiration? Listen to Billy Gorrilly sing the BE CREATIVE @ YOUR LIBRARY theme song!
