Summer with the Library launches at 3:30 p.m. Friday, May 29 with Summer Reader Palooza LIVE - a Facebook Live event featuring special library guests, kid-friendly performances, and a DJ dance party. Tune in for a behind-the-scenes look at the library and details on how to register for summer fun.
Patrons of all ages can join in the Alachua County Library District’s summer program by registering online and tracking their progress with participation badges. Anyone who registers and earns at least 1 more badge will be entered into the raffle for a tablet. The more badges earned by Aug. 2, the better the chances of winning. Three winners will be selected - one child, one teen, and one adult – and will each receive a tablet. Winners will be announced Sept. 1 on Facebook and www.aclib.us.
Popular library programs like story times will continue online this summer. Plus, patrons can catch special virtual programs including book clubs, DIY tutorials, Adult Summer Camp, and more. Subscribe to the Library District’s YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/alachualibrary, and follow the Library District on Facebook to watch programs and interact with librarians.
The Library District thanks the following sponsors for their generous support of Summer with the Library: PDQ Restaurant, Friends of the Library, Cox Communications, Giggle Magazine, and the Gainesville Sun.
