Coming This Summer: Dream Big -- Read!

This summer at the Vigo County Public Library!

While planning your summer activities, be sure to include the Summer Reading Program at the VCPL! Our Reading Club is very simple, and it’s for all ages from birth to grade 12!

Teachers encourage students to keep reading during the summer. Research shows that KIDS WHO READ FOR PLEASURE DURING THE SUMMER often raise their grades and test scores in the fall. We are here to help with that with our SUMMER READING CLUB.

Signup for the Reading Club starts FRIDAY, JUNE 1 and continues until July 28. The last day to report reaching your goal and picking up your prize is Saturday, August 11.

In addition to the Reading Club, the Vigo County Public Library offers weekly storytimes for ages 3-8 and afternoon programs for kids ages 5 and up, with some of them being for the entire family and others for teens. You won’t want to miss "Howl at the Moon with a Wild Thing Tune!" — our kick-off event with special guest Tom Sieling, on Monday, June 11, at 2:00 p.m. All this and more, at the Vigo County Public Library; and it’s all FREE!
