The 50th anniversary edition of Summer Adventure at the Monument Library, presented by Children’s Hospital of Colorado, will include participation by all ages for the first time.
The program will last from May 31 until July 31 this year. You can register online via the district website, www.ppld.org, or go to the library and register in person.
As in the past few years, log your daily reading, exploration, or creativity activities on a log sheet available at the library and online. When you have completed 30 days of activities, those up to age 3 will receive a bath toy and an entry for a grand prize, those 4 to 11 will receive a reading medal and an entry for the grand prize, and those 12 to 18 will receive a choice of a book or journal and an entry for the grand prize. Those over 19 will receive an entry to win a grand prize.
Two exciting grand prizes are a private movie screening for 30 at Road House Cinema, including sodas and popcorn, and a four pack of premium seats to see the Switchbacks play, including a goody bag of team merchandise. Many additional prizes will be awarded.
There will be special programs during June associated with Summer Adventure. On June 11 from 10:30 to 11:30, enjoy a visit from Steve Weeks with music, humor, and games for all ages.
On June 25 from 10:30 to 11:30 enjoy the Feathered Adventure Magic Show.
For teens, there will be a Galaxy Painting program in Monument on June 12 from 3:30 to 4:30. The same program will be offered at the Palmer Lake Library on June 26 from 3:30 to 4:30. Registration is required for these programs. You can register online by going to www.ppld.org, programs by location, or call your local library.
Please note that all Pikes Peak Library facilities will be closed on July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
