All things summer at Caledon Public Library

June 26, 2013 · 0 Comments

Caledon Public Library (CPL) will be buzzing with activities for all ages this summer.
For those who are planning on staying close to home or even travelling abroad for two months, CPL has got something to meet everyone’s summer needs.
There will be a ton of special events, programs and workshops lined up, from hosting the TD Summer Reading Club for kids, to the Sneak Peek Review for Teens, to adult reading programs.
Back by popular demand is the Reading Buddies program, that gives kids the chance to read aloud with a trained reading buddy.
Other great programs for the entire family include special performances by children’s performer David Fox, Let’s Go Fly a Kite, a Mystic Drumz Workshop and two awesome animal shows, Critters Live and Reptiles Live, as well as a spectacular Mad Science: Fire and Ice Show to close out the summer.
All kids’ programs are free, with some requiring advance registration.
For more details on all things summer for kids, be sure to check out the latest edition of CPL’s summer 2013 newsletter, Books and Beyond.
For teens who love to write, CPL will be hosting the Elizabeth Scavetta Short Story Writing and teen poetry contests, with a chance to become a published writer and win money.
Battle of the Books is back again for another summer. There will be eight books squaring off, and CPL needs teens help to declare a champion.
All teen programming details can be found in CPL’s newest publication, #teenzown@CPL, a newsletter dedicated to young adults.
For adults, CPL is offering an Adult Summer Reading Club. It’s as easy as signing up, reading and winning. For avid readers who haven’t mastered packing light, CPL has a growing collection of digital magazines, eBooks and eAudiobooks with hundreds of popular fiction and non-fiction titles to choose from. Digital downloads are easy to check out, they can be downloaded to a wide variety of desktop and mobile apps and the best part is there are never any late fees. This digital collection is available any time of day from anywhere in the world to anyone with a Caledon Public Library card.
Adult and senior book clubs and newest writing group, Writers’ Ink, Bolton and Alton chapters, will continue throughout the summer.
Finally, the annual Click, Create, Celebrate (writing and photography contests for all ages) officially started June 1 and will close Sept. 7.
CPL is thrilled to be offering such a wide variety of programs, events, and reading choices for all ages, for all reasons. Drop in to any branch of Caledon Public Library this summer to find one.
