Kids Color Our World 2025
Jun 14, 2025 - Aug 09, 2025
This program is designed for kids from pre-K through grade 5 (generally aged 2 to 11) to encourage life-long learning and curiosity. Use one of our
paper bead trackers
to track your reading to show our volunteers and choose your beads!
Recording your books on
ReadSquared will earn you points toward raffle tickets
for end of summer prizes.
We have lots of fun things including personal story times, honorary librarian (for a day), robots, Crayola Experience tickets, and more for end of summer prize packages.
Using the bead tracker lets you keep track of what kinds of books you read through the summer. Each time you read a book it can only count as one type of book - picture book, animal book, mystery book, graphic novel, etc. Each type of book will earn you a bead for your summer reading necklace and create a keepsake that you will have well after the summer is over. EVERYONE who registers will get a necklace, only those who read and record their reading will add beads to their necklaces and get a chance at prizes at the end of summer.

The Running Dream
by Wendelin Van Draanen
View in Library Catalog
The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen is a fiction. It is about Jessica, the main character, facing many challenges after she got in a car accident and lost her leg. To make matters worse, Jessica used to be a runner. Now, she has to start her whole life over, starting from learning how to walk. This book was very inspirational to me because even in tough situations, Jessica didn't give up and fought her struggles till the end. I would definitely recommend this book to people who like running or need something to encourage them in their lives.
Communication Skills for Teens: How to Listen, Express, and Connect for Success
by by Michelle Skeen PsyD (Author), Matthew McKay PhD

Most of the chapters contained basic information except for one about the "Hidden agendas" of people, which can really show you why nasty people act the way they do. As well as the final chapter about interviewing skills- which is really helpful as I've never had to do one before.

Girls Rule!
by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

I did not like this book because the author only focused on the problem of the Malloys and their neighbors. She did not give much detail and only showed one side of the story. I would not recommend this book to anyone.??
Mango Shaped Space
by Wendy Mass
View in Library Catalog
Mango Shaped Space by Wendy Mass is a very intimate book, it is about a girl named Mia, who has a condition called synesthesia, and nobody, not even her own mother belives her and this results in a series of very interesting events. This book teaches you a very good lesson about life. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction or just wants a fun sort of relatable book to read.

This Hotel Is Haunted! (geronimo Stilton #50)
by Geronimo Stilton
View in Library Catalog
I think that this book was an easy read for me. First of all, the clues to find out who the ghost was. We're too easy for me and I knew who it was. Secondly, the text and how the author wrote the book was super easy. I finished the book in 7 minutes. But I really liked the graphics and the storyline.
