Teen Summer Reading Program

Participate in the Teen Summer Reading Program and earn prizes just for reading.

Students who will be going to grades 6-12 in the coming school year can participate in the teen program.

You will get a chance to win a prize for every book you read this summer. Simply come to the Library and submit an entry form for each book you read. Every few weeks we will draw random winners who will get to select from a variety of prizes such as bags, T-Shirts, notepads, magnetic bookmarks, color changing pencils, and many more.

Children's Summer Reading Program

The Summer Reading Program will go from June 8 thru August 3, 2011

Sign Up at the library, then read 20 minutes each day. You many count the time you spend reading books, comic books, newspapers, or magazines. You may also count the time you spend listening to books that are read to you, or to recorded books. You choose what you want to read!

Keep track of your reading on your Reading Log ( you'll get one when you sign up) and you will get a prize when you bring the completed card back to the library. You can earn up to eight prizes this summer, just by reading.

There will be drawings held every few weeks for bigger prizes, and a final drawing at the closing party for T-Shirts, reading bags, and other great prizes. The Reading Logs will be your entries into the drawings.

Summer Story Time will be held each Thursday throughout the summer at 10:30 for those 7 and younger, and 3:30 for those 8 and up.

NEW FROM SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

NEW FROM SPECIAL COLLECTIONS
We have a new blog http://newtonspecialcollections.blogspot.com/
Thanks to many of you we have great histories of our early towns people.
Many of them need to be transcribed. As they are being transcribed they are being cataloged and housed in our Special Collections at the library, but as a convenience to our patrons they are also being put on line at the above address.
Listed below are some of our new offering at the Special Collections at the Library:
Over two hundred pictures taken during of Amos Clarke’s life. What a historic treasure.
Early History of the Newton Ward, with many pictures and early documents.
We have over 200 histories and pictures of Newton in our Special Collections at the library, stop by and see us.
If you want to have some fun check out the work Larry D Christiansen has done @ this web site
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~utcache/ go there then check towns and scroll down to Newton. Larry collected notes and interviews while writing his History of Newton. He has given us permission to publish these items. They are being indexed and hopefully will be published by the 24th of July. What a historical treasure. If you are interested in purchasing this treasure please contact Cleo Griffin or the Library. All proceeds go to the Library.
