Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System Kicks Off

Vacation Reading Program 2008

Atlanta – Join Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System and “Catch the Reading Bug” this summer to discover the amazing world of insects – and reading! The 2008 Vacation Reading Program is open to young people, preschool through young adults with programs, story hours, reading lists and more.

Throughout the summer, Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System’s branch libraries will provide a wide variety of books and reading materials at no cost; feature storytelling hours, arts and crafts and music presentations that stimulate children’s creativity and help bring literature and language to life and promote the idea of reading for enjoyment, often leading children to seek books and other items that explore topics that interest them. The program encourages summer reading and works to build a lifelong love of reading and books.

Vacation Reading kick-off celebrations will begin at our branches beginning on June 2. Check with your branch for details and times of the celebration or visit our website www.afpls.org. All programs are free of charge.

Children up to age 12 will participate in the “Catch the Reading Bug” program and teens, ages 13-17, in “Metamorphosis @ Your Library.”
