Registration for Haldimand County Public Library summer programs opens June 19

Starting Monday, June 19, registration for Haldimand County Public Library’s summer programs opens at all six Haldimand Library branches. This year’s theme is “Check it Out!” and offers the chance for children to explore through themed parties, Storytimes, crafts and more.

The programs are open to children aged 3-12, with in-person registration required. Program dates, times and costs are available at local branches and will be available on the library’s website in early June.

In addition to registered programs, the Library is also offering free summer reading clubs for children and teens. Children aged 12 and under can participate in the Junior Reading Club while teens 13-18 can sign up for the Teen Summer Reading Club.

Participants in both clubs will receive a ballot for every print or digital library book they read throughout the summer, entering them into draws for a chance to win cash and other prizes. Draw dates for these prizes can be found at each branch.

Along with the cash prize draws, Junior Reading Club participants will also get to choose a special prize from the library treasure chest for every 15 library books they read.

The library will also be hosting a special children’s event, Club Rex! This hands-on presentation will teach children about dinosaurs, other prehistoric creatures and the world they lived in. A Club Rex! session will take place this summer at all Haldimand County Public Library branches. This is a free program, open to everyone. Times and locations can be found at your local library branch or on the library website. Registration is required and parents or guardians are asked to stay in the library.
