Summer Reading Program

Summer Reading is vital to your child maintaining their reading skills over the summer. This seven week program allows for you to participate in as much or as little as your summer schedule allows. Come with us and explore the world of creativity through art, music, dance, theater and BOOKS! The program is open to Sparta Public Library cardholders only. Children from four to twelve years of age can participate in a variety of events throughout the program. We have a fun and exciting summer planned with performers, crafts, storytimes, games and prizes. We hope that you will join us for all the fun! Registration begins on Monday, June 1 at 8:30am. Please see the calendar of events posted at www.spartalibrary.com to register for the program and the events offered.
