Embark on a journey of art and creativity as we let Summer Reading “Color Our World“
This summer, we invite you to embark on a journey of art and creativity…
Just like painting and drawings, music and dance, literature is a creative art. The words on the pages of our books color our world. Reading enriches our lives and provides a context for exploring the world around us, making everyday life much more colorful. Not only that, but reading is proven to increase creativity and boost brain power! Join us this year as we celebrate all the creative arts that “Color our World.“ Stop by the Bellaire Public Library any time between June 4 and July 23 to register for our Summer Reading Program, “Color Our World!”Registration Categories:
- Ages 3-K
- Grades 1-6
- Teens
- Adults
Reading Goals
Upon registering, each reader will have a paint can placed on one of our reading boards. Each reader will also be sent home with a reading log bookmark. For every ten minutes you spend reading, you will color a paintbrush on the reading log. Each paintbrush will earn you one sticker to place on your paint can. 10 stickers earn you another paint can to place on the reading board. Each paint can you earn throughout the summer will get you an extra ticket to use for our Summer Reading Finale Carnival or to pick prizes if you can’t attend the Finale.
Each registered reader will receive two additional stickers to use toward extra paint cans for each program attended throughout the summer. Readers who complete their reading contract signed at registration will receive an extra paint can!
This year, in addition to tracking minutes read by paper, we will also offer the options of tracking minutes read by the ReadersZone app.
