We had 146 kids attend one of the 7 sessions that were offered.

We are kicking off our Summer Reading Program with Dan, Dan the Magic Man at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 5th. Our age level programs will begin the following week (Detect It!) with “Who Stole the Cookies From the Cookie Jar.” The Library Cookie Jar is empty and so the Sheriff and his Deputy have been called in to investigate. We have mug shots and fingerprints of several local “celebrity” suspects. The Sheriff will talk about investigating and show how to dust for and take fingerprints from the cookie jar. Our Library Dectives will compare the fingerprints and find the thief. We hope to have the Ident-a-Kid program during this week as well. The next week (Dig It Up!) we will be focusing on archealogy with some real archealogist. Our Library Detectives will be digging up information and facts along with making fossils and breaking open geodes. During our last week (Find It! Explain It!) of summer reading we will have a local historian come and talk about all of the mysteries of Scott County. Each week they receive theme related favors.
Ages 3-4 meet at 10:15-10:45 on Tuesdays or Wednesdays; Ages 5-6 meet at 11:00-11:45 on Tuesdays or Wednesdays; Ages 7-9 meet at 1:30-2:15 on Tuesdays or Wednesdays; Ages 10-12 meet at 2:30-3:15 on Wednesdays; and this year we are starting a Teen Book Club that will be meeting on Thursdays at 4:00. Our Teen Book Club is going to start off with a Hardy Boys Mystery followed by a Nancy Drew Mystery.
Each Library Dective receives an Evidence Record to record books read in along with some super fun activities to do at home when they enroll. They also receive a sticker, bookmark, fair coloring book and fair calendar. They must read a total of 20 books or pages equivalent to be eligible to receive a t-shirt, book and to be signed up for the prize drawing. After every 5 books they receive coupons from Subway, Dairy Queen, Donunt Shop and for food vendors (Tator Twister, Ice Cream Wagon, Tropical Snow) at the County Fair.

Southwest Kansas Librarians–Did you know:

FYI - For those of you who are using the Get A Clue theme for summer
reading, Kohl's has a special promotion right now where you buy a copy of
the Detective LaRue book for $5 and you can purchase the Ike LaRue stuffed
animal for $5.  Great for decoration and setting the scene.

Memorial Library

Like many other libraries, Memorial Library plans to explore many areas this summer as part of Get a Clue. Since Sara in Cimarron came up with the Mad Science program, which we will be taking advantage of, our first week is geared to science, the second to crime detection, the third to the past, the fourth to arts/theater. For our final week, since we were one of the recipients of the Healthy Kids Challenge grant, we will be doing health and fitness. The National Dairy Council has some neat programming along these lines which has solving mysteries as the basis for the materials the older children will be using.

Some of the more exciting special programs we have planned include a mystery writer who will share the writing process and a genealogist to get youngsters excited about digging up their past. For our arts/theater week, Traveling Lantern Theatre Company will do Sherlock Holmes Takes the Case.

The Nancy Drew movie comes out on June 15.  Nancy Drew could easily fit in with this year’s theme. 

 There is also a bookmark and mini-poster that libraries are allowed to distribute from the movie.  These can be found linked on the Get a Clue Page under Nancy Drew.
