'Be creative @ your library'

Published May 27, 2009

HEIDELBERG, Germany -- -- Do you love to paint? Or maybe you dance? How about play an instrument? Then you'll want to "Be Creative @ your library" this summer.

Tons of awesome books await readers at their local military library, where the world of the arts come to life. Come sing silly songs, make neat crafts and discover good books during the fifth annual joint U.S. Air Forces in Europe and Installation Management Command-Europe library Summer Reading Program.

Each week, participating libraries will offer special programs and activities, encouraging children to keep up their reading skills while having fun. Children will keep track of the books they read to earn prizes and certificates.

Parents are encouraged to get involved by visiting the library with their children to sign up for the program. They can also check out the library Web sites that feature tips and activities for kids and parents to enjoy as a family. And of course, the libraries always have books for children and their parents to check out and read together. This summer, it's all about discovering reading and fun!

The "Be Creative @ Your Libraries" 2009 Summer Reading Program begins at military libraries in Europe as soon as school is out in June.

Registration for the Summer Reading Program runs from June 14-24 at the Spangdahlem and Bitburg Libraries. For more information about the USAFE Summer Reading Program, visit www.usafelibraries.org/kids/summerread-home.php.
