SUMMER PROGRAMMING 2010
A series of Free Summer Entertainment for the Family:
Events for children are free!
Summer Reading is sponsored by the Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library.
Some events require registration. Call your branch to register. ADA accommodations available.
Bicycle Drawing:
The Santa Fe Public Library is giving away six children’s bicycles this year as incentives for the Summer Reading Program. Summer Reading Program participants will get one entry for every reading log they turn in, starting with log number 3.
Each branch will give away one girl’s bike and one boy’s bike, along with helmets and bike locks. Gift certificates are available if a bike needs to be exchanged. Drawings will be held at the end-of-the-summer parties at each branch.
The Southside Branch bicycle drawing will be done for all entrants at the Saturday party. Entrants need not be present to win.
