You know Tulsa City-County Library’s children’s summer reading program is beginning when families line the river’s edge for stories and songs.
Enjoy “Storytime in the Park,” Thursdays at 10 a.m. on June 2, 9, 16 and 23 at the QuikTrip Plaza at River Parks, 41st and Riverside.
Each program features interactive stories, songs and activities encouraging children to develop a love of reading. Bring a blanket or chair to enhance the storytime comfort.
Scheduled performances include:
- June 2– Sugar Free Allstars
- June 9 – Big Bang Boom Band
- June 16 – The Que Pastas
- June 23 – Jack and Kitty Norton, Emmy Award-Winning Vaudeville Folk Duo
The Imagination Station, funded by the Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation, is the latest addition to TCCL’s Outreach Services department. Patterned after the successful Penguin Book Truck, the mobile collection features approximately 1,000 items for all ages. The collection will rotate to complement specific events and festivals. Library cardholders can access digital content in an area set up with Café tables, chairs and iPads.
After each storytime, children can sign up for the summer reading program. By reading eight books, children will complete the program and earn a medal of achievement and a booklet of coupons for free entertainment and food items. Plus, they will be entered in an end-of-summer drawing for exciting prizes.
Storytime in the Park is sponsored by River Parks Authority and Friends of the Helmerich Library. In case of inclement weather, check the library’s website, www.tulsalibrary.org for any cancellations or call the AskUs Hotline, 918-549-7323.
