The Summer Reading Club Passport
We have created a passport to help children track their reading, as well as to offer library challenges to make this summer extra fun.
Here’s how it works:
Participants are encouraged to try to read for at least 15 minutes a day, either by themselves or with an adult, and mark off a box in the passport for each day you read. Any kind of reading counts!
Earn Stickers:
Collect a sticker for every day you read. Visit your local branch whenever it’s convenient to collect your weekly stickers.
Lanyards:
Each child receives a lanyard to hold their rewards. Along the way, you will collect: Keychains, coloured, charms, and other collectibles for completing challenges.
Win Prizes:
Fill out the survey at the back of this booklet for a chance to win tickets to Ripley's Aquarium of Canada in Toronto.. In Branch draws take place on Week 5 for a chance to win a magnetic tiles building set and Week 7 for a chance to win a Yeti water bottle.

Storywalks
Storywalks are available in many communities this summer. A Storywalk is where pages of a children's book are posted on large yard signs stationed around a trail. This is a fun and educational activity that pairs literacy with physical activity and encourages families to get outside.
To view a complete schedule of Storywalks that are currently being offered, visit the Storywalk webpage.
Pop-Up Storytimes
We will have pop up storytimes in the community all summer long. Follow us on social media (Facebook and Instagram @kawarthalibrary) to discover where you can find us next. Some appearances may include the Balsam Lake Provincial Park, Fenelon Falls Locks, Bobcaygeon Beach Park, Logie Park and more! Come on out for some outdoor fun!
