Why Summer Quest Matters

Robert F. Lambert, President

Summer Quest gives children a chance to learn, explore and discover new things through their library. The program connects families with York County Libraries and helps excite and challenge children. By encouraging kids to learn, Summer Quest can help instill a love of learning while also enabling kids to improve their reading skills over the summer. Summertime is a good time for children to improve their physical and mental fitness. With school out, reading and learning shouldn’t stop. Summer Quest is fun and is a great exercise for the mind. We hope that families take advantage of this and all the tremendous opportunities available at York County Libraries.

WHAT IS SUMMER QUEST (SQ)? Summer Quest is a program that provides opportunities for kids and teens to stay active and keep learning during the break from school. York County Libraries host free, fun activities throughout the summer that include story times, hands-on science experiments, game nights, crafts, dance parties and more!

The Teen Leadership Committee at Martin also serves as a leadership training platform; officers are elected yearly. Within the community, Teens can vote in the library or online the Teen Advisory Groups take quite in June. The winning book will be an initiative in benefiting teens of York announced in July, and copies will be County through various events and available to read in August.

We are moving

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten NEW EARLY LEARNING ADVENTURE GETS KIDS SCHOOL-READY ■ Each book you read with your child counts as one. We have an easy way for you to keep track.

■ At each 100-book milestone (100, 200, 300 books read, etc…), come to the library to celebrate your child’s achievement. The 500 and 1,000 milestones are an extra big deal!

■ We are planning a graduation ceremony for children who read 1,000 books!

How is it possible to read 1000 books before kindergarten?

The magic number is 1,000. It is the goal number for a new early learning adventure that will officially be unveiled to members and the public on Monday, October 1st. We are beyond excited!

The way it works is simple ■ You can sign your children up as early as birth and they can participate up until the day they enter kindergarten.

■ All they need is their very own library card, which is free.

We know 1,000 books sounds like a huge number, but really, it’s not. Think of your child’s favorite book.

■ Read 3 books a day for 1 year = 1,095 books ■ Read 1 book a day every day for 3 years = 1,095 books ■ Read 10 books a week for 2 years = 1,040 books It is doable, especially since you can count your child’s most beloved book each time it is read!

What Makes a Family Place Library?

FAMILY PLACE LIBRARIES CONNECT PARENTS WITH RESOURCES, PROGRAMS AND SERVICES Family Place Libraries redesign the library environment to be welcoming and appropriate for children beginning at birth; connect parents with the resources, programs and services offered at the library and other family service agencies; and reach out to non-traditional library users. This creates the network families need to nurture their children’s development during the critical first years of life and helps ensure all children enter school ready and able to learn.

Family Place Libraries™ is a network of children’s librarians nationwide who believe that literacy begins at birth, and that libraries can help build healthy communities by nourishing healthy families.

York County Libraries has two trained Family Place LibrariesMartin and Guthrie Memorial Library. Both of these libraries offer the 5-week workshops and play groups that are part of the national program. Our story times build quality early learning experiences and our libraries have a cooperative goal of working to prepare young children to be successful as they transition to kindergarten.

Expanding the traditional role of children’s services, Family Please bring your young children to the library and Place builds on the knowledge that good health, early learning, experience how we can support them and help you parental involvement and supportive communities play a critical For more event details, see this library’s calendar at yorklibraries.org to guide your child to success. role in young children’s growth and development.

Salem Square Library in York City Since opening its doors in 2017, Salem Square Library has made quite an impact on the community. The library provides adults and children with unique opportunities to learn and grow.

Adults have access to computers and the internet where they can apply for jobs, connect with family and friends or research topics important to their lives. The full collection of York County Libraries books and resources are available to Salem Square residents. Community agencies provide services within the library, including ESL classes, career counseling and work related support. Children experience fun and educational drop-in learning opportunities including handson science and technology programs.
