To join the Munson Library's Summer Reading Club, children can register by filling out the reader's roster form - bring a picture of yourself! Children will receive a book log to record the books read over the summer. Read 10 books to receive a prize. Read 20 or more books to earn a second prize! Visit the Munson Library 10 times during the summer, and receive a coupon for a free ice cream cone!

Please return the book logs by Monday, August 24. The Back-To-School Party will be held on Wednesday, August 26 at 6:00 p.m. in the garden of the Munson Library.

Crocker Farm Elementary School is doing a special summer reading program called "One Book, One School". Everyone in the Crocker Farm community is invited to read The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White. Join us at the Munson Library every Wednesday in July for story time (except July 22) from 6:30 - 7 pm in the main reading room. Children of any age or grade are welcome, but stories and activities will be geared towards K - 2. There will also be a story hour at the Jones Library every Wednesday in July from 3:30 - 4:30 in the Large Meeting Room. Join us to read chapters from the book each week and enjoy a related activity.

Children are asked to send the library post cards from your summer trips. Send them to Sue Hugus, Munson Memorial Library, 1045 South East Street, Amherst, MA 01002. Help us cover the library with post cards!
