Summer Program Registration

The TD Summer Reading Club and Read to Me registration begins June 29 at both the Beamsville and Vineland locations.

We are presenting some great events, so register early to guarantee your spots!

Playaways

The Lincoln Public Library has just received a small selection of Playaways - prerecorded talkingbooks in a MP3-like player. They are great to take on a walk or while commuting. All you need to do is provide your own earbuds and an AAA battery.

They will be available at the Fleming (Beamsville) Library, but you can request pickup at the Moses F. Rittenhouse (Vineland) Library.

Coronation Street Club on hiatus

The Coronation Street Club will go on hiatus for June, July and August so that our Club Members can enjoy the summer weather.

Come join the fun again in September! Find out what's going on with David, Ken, Steve and the whole Corrie gang.

For more information, contact Jill at the Fleming Library, 905-563-7014.

TD Summer Reading Club and Read to Me

The Library's children's services staff is busy planning this summer's exciting programs. The Theme for the TD Summer Reading Club is 'Agent 009', so mystery and detection will be part of the action!

The Library will also continue the popular "Read to Me' program for preschoolers. By popular demand, we will be adding a weekly drop-in storytime at each library.

Children's services staff will be visiting Lincoln's elementary schools in June to talk to students about the Library's fantastic summer programs.

Check back soon for more details.

Bookcase from original Rittenhouse Library
