Summer Reading Program Offers Tails and Tales Kits

Published on June 15, 2021

Lincoln City Libraries (LCL) today announced that “Tails and Tales” is the theme of its Summer Reading Challenge. LCL and Nebraska 4-H developed the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Reading Connections Program kit that explores the amazing world of animal habitats and encourage reading.

The Tails and Tales kits are appropriate for families or groups with children ages 3 to 8. Each kit contains three books and a guide with activities to extend learning in the areas of art, science, music and movement, and conversation starters. The kits are cover themes of farm, forest, house pets, and pond, and are available for checkout for a three-week loan period at most library locations (not available at Williams Branch or the bookmobile). 

The Summer Reading Challenge runs through July 31. All registrants will receive a book bag, and a plantable paper bookmark while supplies last. Those who complete the challenge will receive a ticket to a free family pool party at Star City Shores, Saturday, July 31. Register for the challenge at lincolnlibraries.org.
