Summer Reading Program

Over the next two months we encourage you to explore this universe and many others through activities, books and programs at Lambton County Library. The more you explore, read and participate, the more chances that you’ll return to Earth with fun prizes.

GALACTIC SCAVENGER HUNT

Each week of the Summer Reading Program, you can check out your local library’s windows / doors or the library’s website at lclibrary.ca for a clue leading you to a secret letter. Over the summer there will be six different clues and these six letters will spell out a secret code word. Once you have discovered the secret code word you can submit it online at lclibrary.ca/srp for your chance to win one of five space themed LEGO kits. There is a different code word for each library location. Visit the same location every week to correctly solve the secret code word.

STORYWALKS

Get outside this summer and visit the permanent and temporary StoryWalks across Lambton County. There is a different secret word at each StoryWalk location and you will find the secret word on the last page of each book. Participants will earn one ballot for every StoryWalk visited with a secret word submitted for a chance to win a star registered in your name. Submit the secret words at lclibrary.ca/srp. StoryWalks are located at: • Ausable River Cut Conservation Area, Port Franks • Canatara Park, Sarnia • Mooretown Sports Complex, Mooretown • Port Franks Community Centre, Port Franks • Wildwood Park, Bright’s Grove • Bridgeview Park, Petrolia

OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD DEEDS

Throughout the summer, you and your friends and family are encouraged to be on the lookout for superstars in the community. Whether it’s a family member, friend, acquaintance or someone you admire in your community, when you see a good deed visit lclibrary.ca/srp and submit the name of the young person and their good deed. You will earn one ballot for making the submission, and the superstars will earn one ballot for each good deed submitted on their behalf, for a chance to win a prize at the end of the Summer Reading Program. There will be one prize for each age group: • Kids - telescope • Teens – telescope • Adults – a subscription box

Winners must live, work, attend school or own property in Lambton County.

STAR GAZING PARTIES
