Prime Time Family Reading begins Jan. 13 at Orcas Library

||| FROM CAROL DAPOGNY for ORCAS ISLAND LIBRARY |||

We are excited to be partnering with Humanities Washington, Prime Time©, and Orcas Island Public School to bring the love of books and reading into your family. Together we want to develop a lifelong love of reading for families, focusing on children aged 6-10 years old but siblings of any age are welcome to join in.

From Thursday January 13 to February 17 Prime Time Family Reading will run for 1-hour every Thursday evening at 6 p.m. This is a 6-week commitment for parents and children to participate in the program.

In Prime Time Family Reading you’ll enjoy engaging, family-based reading and discussion on topics like fairness, courage, and dreams. Prime Time has a proven track record that develops strategies to increase creativity, critical thinking, and academic success.

• Have an evening of fun one night a week for 6 weeks via a 1-hour online storytelling program with Children’s Librarian Miss Jenny and Scholar Mr. David Turnoy
• Help engage children to look deeper into stories
• Receive up to 10 award-winning books to build your library
• Receive a $25 Island Market gift certificate for each week you attend (total of $150)
