Cannon Beach Library inspires summer readers to Read, Renew, Repeat

The Cannon Beach Library is the place to be for Summer Reading fun, prizes, and special events! From June 22nd through August 24th, we’ll be encouraging summer readers from pre-k to young adult to “Read, Renew, Repeat.” During the nine-week program, the library will host a range of free activities focusing on environmental awareness and wildlife stewardship.

Our program launches Saturday, June 22nd with a lively Kickoff Party, art activity, and kid’s planting program. Participants will decorate their own pot from recycled materials and learn how to grow watercress. Each child who registers will receive a backpack and FREE BOOK. Registration is open both online and at the library, and non-local participants are welcome to join.

“Our program is based on no rules, just read,” said Jen Dixon, Library Manager. “We want to grow and engage future patrons by fostering positive connections among kids, libraries, and reading. We invite both local and visiting families to come discover what our library has to offer.”

Other events include Ocean Animals Month and in-library scavenger hunt, a program with the Seaside Aquarium, bilingual story time, and an interactive story, music, and crafting event with children’s author Sara Behrman.

Participants will track their daily reading habits and earn badges and prizes for every seven days of reading, with opportunities to enter monthly raffles for Lego sets, art and STEM kits, and gift certificates to the Cannon Beach Book Company.

The Cannon Beach Library is committed to supporting reading for all families. To learn more about our Summer Reading Program, please call 503-436-1391 or visit our website: www.cannonbeachlibrary.org.
