Richmond Public Library has lots of free programming for children this July and August.

First, join the Summer Reading Club by visiting your library for a booklet to record your readings. You are never too young to join! Visit your library anytime for your weekly stickers and a chance to win a prize. There will be a magician for our kick-off party, and the mayor will reward everyone a medal at the end of summer.

What else is happening? There are literary programs such as writers’ workshops, book clubs, and even a special family book club. The Engineers and Geoscientists of BC will offer four different “design & create” science programs, Northwest Wildlife Preservation Society will offer their signature “Learn About BC’s Wildlife” program, and Parks Canada will offer Learn-to-Camp programs. In participation with Richmond Arts Centre, there will be a hands-on Art Club running for three sessions. Want to get outdoors? Come to a StoryWalk and follow a surprising journey!

Digital programs will include: coding, robotics, and learning how to do 3D printing.

Program registration and Summer Reading Club have begun. Come in and see us!
