The North Bay Public Library is announcing its yearly partnership with the TD Summer Reading Club.
The theme for TD Summer Reading Club 2023 is Check This Out.
Do you like cool stuff, amazing facts and mysterious fiction? What makes you curious and creative? Explore your neighbourhood, library and the world around you. Show off your collections and creations. Have fun collaborating and creating new things with others. Discover mysterious, bizarre and intriguing stories gathered from near and far and from our imaginations. What extraordinary treasures will you collect to remember your epic adventures this summer?
TD Summer Reading Club is Canada's biggest bilingual summer reading program for kids of all ages, all interests, and all abilities. This free program is co-created and delivered by more than 2,000 public libraries across Canada. It celebrates Canadian authors, illustrators and stories. It's designed to inspire kids to explore the fun of reading their way – the key to building a lifelong love of reading.
Kids (and their caregivers) can participate anytime, anywhere – at local public libraries across Canada and at home, online, on the road or wherever their summer takes them.
Participants explore recommended reads; track their own reading; connect and share with others across the country; read books online; join in activities; collect reading incentives; write jokes, stories and book reviews; and more. There are excellent resources for kids with print disabilities as well as for pre-readers and their families.
