Summer Reading Program:

"Dream Big - READ!"

All children are invited to join Tularosa Public Library's Summer Reading Program and attend the fun programs and events we are planning. This is for children ages toddlers to teens. This summer's theme, Dream Big-Read! is about all things nocturnal-dreams, stars, planets, bats, owls, spooky stories and even dreaming of what the children want to be when they grow up. These programs are free and open to all children of all abilities.

Programs are Tuesdays through Fridays at 10:30 am beginning June 5th. Our first program will be with Jamie O'Hara, the Magic Guy, for a terrific magic and comedy show. After each day's program, we will escort the children to Vigil Park for free lunches. Parent's may pick their children up at the park after 12:00 noon.

These programs are free and open to all children of all abilities. Your donations can help make this summer program a success.

Stop by the library or give us a call at 585-2711 for more information. Volunteers are welcome!
