All Together Now! Summer Programs for Kids

It’s hard to believe, but summer is right around the corner! We’re excited to offer a wide variety of activities and events for kids of all ages and their grown-ups. Whether you love reading, drawing, writing, magic tricks, or making music, we’ve got something for you.

Read on to learn all about our summer program line-up! If you’re a grown-up looking to attend adult programs, click here to view our adult program line-up.

Reading Records and Activity Passports

Let’s avoid the summer slide, and keep our kids reading with BC Summer Reading Club!

With a Reading Record, kids can set their own goals, using their preferred method of reading – ebooks, audiobooks, graphic novels, whatever they enjoy! A digital version is also available – click here to sign up for a virtual Reading Record

Visit the library each week to receive a sticker for completed goals, and enter our weekly prize draw. Kids who complete their entire Reading Record will be entered in our Grand Prize Draw on August 31! 

We’re also offering our second annual Summer Activity Passport this year! These passports include weekly literacy activities that will bring kids around their neighbourhoods, around town, and to the library.

Visit the library often to get stamps for completed activities, and to enter our weekly prize draw. Kids who complete every activity in the Summer Activity Passport will be entered in our Grand Prize Draw on August 31!

And, we’re offering Early Literacy Bingo for little ones who are pre-reading! Each square of the bingo card has a literacy activity for families to complete.

Visit the library often to get stamps for completed activities, and finish a full row to enter the weekly prize draw. Kids who complete their entire Early Literacy Bingo will be entered in our Grand Prize Draw on August 31!

Visit the library on or after Wednesday, June 29 to pick up Reading Records, Summer Activity Passports, and Early Literacy Bingo cards!

Summer Celebrations

First up, our Summer Kick-Off Day! Join us on Wednesday, June 29, between 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Florence Petersen Park and inside the library.
