Summer Reading Program
Summer Reading Program for all ages runs from June 1st-August 30th every summer and includes three special events on Thursdays in July. There are amazing reading incentive prizes for all ages. Children turn in minutes and teens and adults turn in book titles for a chance at prizes.
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
1,000 Books Before Kindergarten is a nationwide program to encourage reading with children. This program is for babies, toddlers, and children who have not started kindergarten yet. For ever book read, a child or caregiver fills in a circle. Every 100 circles are turned in for fun prizes, including a picture book, a puppet, and a tee shirt. Once 1,000 books are read, the child receives a special certificate and gets his/her picture taken for the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten hall of fame book which is on display at the library.
Movies @ the Library
Spooner Memorial Library has a movie license and plays movies periodically. Keep an eye on our website and Facebook page for any upcoming movies.
