Join the Fun with the TD Summer Reading Club!
Get ready for a summer full of stories, fun and prizes with the TD Summer Reading Club at KFPL!
Pre-readers (ages 0–5) and school-age kids (ages 6–12) can track their reading and complete fun activities on Beanstack to earn badges and enter monthly prize draws. The Grand Prize—a $100 Indigo gift card and a goody basket—will be awarded to one participant in each age group who completes the TD Summer Reading Club! Kids are encouraged to visit the library weekly to share their reading, collect a sticker and put their name up on the Wall of Achievement. Sign up now on Beanstack and start your summer reading adventure! Thank you to the Friends of the Library for supporting summer reading programs at KFPL.
The challenge runs until Sunday, Aug. 24.
Every Child Ready to Read
Celebrate Science Literacy Week
Mathematics is the language in which science is written. In its oldest forms, mathematics studies trajectories in space, solves equations, calculates probabilities, generates statistics, and much more. Read these children's books to celebrate mathematics for Science Literacy Week!

Saturday Spotlight: Emma Dodd
Emma grew up in a household full of pens and pencils and books. She knew she wanted to be an illustrator from a very early age! Her books are great for sharing side-by-side. Watch Sarah’s Saturday Spotlight, then borrow a book!

Saturday Spotlight: Decodable Books
Decodable books use mostly words that can be broken down into the phonetic code a child is learning. They require the reader to decode almost every word, reinforcing phonetic code and blending so kids can develop strong reading skills. Watch Cheryl’s Saturday Spotlight explaining why these books are important, then borrow a decodable text, a dyslexia-friendly book, or a book using the phonetic method!
