Ignite Your Children's Love for Reading This August!
Reading isn't just about picking up a book; it's about the adventure that unfolds with each page turned. This August, the Sussex County Library System (SCLS) invites young readers, aged 2 to 12, to take part in their fun-filled Summer Reading program, 'Reading Rocks'. In partnership with Braen Stone and the Sussex County Miners, this initiative offers an exciting opportunity for children to explore the wonders of earth science, mining, and geology while indulging in the joy of reading.
Program Details and Exciting Incentives
From August 1 to August 31, families can visit any local SCLS branch. The process is straightforward: register, receive a Log Sheet and Reading List, and get ready to dive into the world of books. Children need to read just five books from the designated Braen-Book Reading Lists to earn a special Reading Rocks prize box, filled with goodies that promote learning and playfulness.
This year’s prize boxes include an assortment of engaging items, such as a Braen Stone T-shirt, two tickets to a 2026 Sussex Miners Baseball Game, a notepad and pen, a reusable cup and straw, as well as fun reads like the Quarry Kids and Mighty Machines Diggers books, along with a Boulder Kids magazine. It’s not just about reading; it's about creating memories, fostering friendships, and igniting a passion for discovery.
Kickoff and Community Involvement
Mark your calendars for the exciting Reading Rocks Kickoff Event on July 30 at 10:00 am at the Main Library located at 125 Morris Turnpike in Newton. This lively launch will feature storytelling, music, activities, and valuable information about the program. Encouraging community involvement, the event aims to bring families together and celebrate the joy of reading. Don’t miss out on helping your child discover a treasure trove of knowledge this summer!
