Colborne Public Library Challenges Children
To Solve Mysteries

Calling All Sleuths and Secret Agents!

The Colborne Public Library invites children ages 3 – 12 to participate in its annual TD Summer Reading Program from July 7 – August 15. Registration takes place at the library from July 2-4 around 2 p.m., although children can register for specific events at any time throughout the program by calling the library in advance of the event – 905 355 3722. All children enrolled in the program receive a poster, an activity book, and a set of stickers for free.

This year’s theme “Detectives” will focus on Agent 009, the mystery solving pooch who, with help from children, will uncover detective stories, whodunits, thrillers and tons of fun learning how to spy and solve mysteries. By the end of the summer, it’s guaranteed that everyone will be a highly trained master of mystery and intrigue.

Junior Spies (ages 3-4) meet on Thursdays from 11 a.m. – 12 noon.
Super Agents (ages 5-9) gather Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 2-3 p.m..
Advanced Investigators (ages 10-12) follow the clues in a Book Club on Tuesdays from 4-5:30 p.m.

For a more complete listing of the days’ activities, please pick up a calendar at registration.

The Summer Reading Program also offers grade 7 & 8 students an opportunity to volunteer in their community, as well as high school students to complete their community hours. Please contact the library – 905 355 3722 – to inquire about this great way to gain valuable work experience!
