Summer Reading 2016 kicks off June 17th at Artivity on the Green Park, located at 630 N. Liberty Street in downtown Winston-Salem. There will be arts and crafts for the kids, music and skits performed by our talented group of children's librarians.

Summer Reading runs from June 20th through July 29th and is for everyone, kids (0-11), teens (12-17) and adults (18 and up). Each branch library will hold a drawing at the end of Summer Reading for a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble. Also at the conclusion of Summer Reading there will be a grand prize drawing for a $100 Barnes and Noble gift card for each age group. To be included in the drawing all paper and online reading logs must be completed and turned in the the Library by Friday, July 29th.
