Roseburg Public Library has its Summer Reading Program for children and teens beginning on June 1st.

The program will continue through Saturday August 23rd. That is 12 weeks and equates to 57 programs, hundreds of reading prizes, 290 craft kits every week, numerous outreach events, and extra summer volunteers and presenters.

Youth Service Librarian Aurora Ropp said, “All that fun needs scheduling, coordinating, purchasing, and pieces put together, which is both the most exciting and time-consuming portion of my work at the library”.

Keep up to date on the Summer Reading Program on the library’s website at: www.roseburgpubliclibrary.org. The events calendar includes program details, and the site has reading logs, book review slips, the prize list and the StoryWalk schedule.

The foundation of the Summer Reading Program is reading. At Roseburg Public Library, children and teens will have a log to keep track of the minutes read. A Roseburg Public Library card is not required to participate.

The program will have three grand prizes to give away this year – yearlong memberships to the YMCA of Douglas County. Ropp said, “In addition to reading logs, we will continue the super-popular book review raffle for prizes”.
