TranslateDear families, students, teachers and school staff.
On behalf of Palmerston Branch – your local public library – congratulations on nearing the end of a successful school year!
Summer holidays are just around the corner and we would like to wish you a great summer!
We would also like to invite you to visit the library and take time to read, play and relax with books and friends at your library.
Palmerston Branch and all 100 branches of Toronto Public Library invite all children to register for our annual summer campaign TD Summer Reading Club and have fun reading this summer! This year our theme is “WILD”! http://www.tdsummerreadingclub.ca/
Studies show that children who keep reading during the summer do better when they return to school in the fall.
The TD Summer Reading Club is a free program developed by Canadian public libraries; it’s a great way to keep your kids engaged with reading. Children can choose what they want to read, track their reading, interact with our website and connect with kids across the country.
Online, in libraries, or on-the-road, make the TD Summer Reading Club part of your child’s summer adventures.
It’s easy to participate!
- Register your child at your local library
- Receive free materials, including a notebook and stickers
- Engage with library staff
- Discover great programming
- Begin your reading adventure together
- You can also get a free library card for your child, or renew the old/lost one.
On our summer website http://www.tdsummerreadingclub.ca/ children can:
- Discover great new reads
- Rate books and submit reviews
- Read e-books
- Submit and read jokes
- Write stories
- Learn to draw
- Print colouring pages
- Track their reading
- Meet the TD SRC illustrator
Don’t forget to check your local library’s website for free programs and events happening near you!
Palmerston Branch will have storytimes, author visit with Rob Laidlaw “Rescuing the Toronto Zoo Elephants”, music show, puppet show, summer movies, Library Bingo and more!
