The La Salle Public Library will be hosting a summer program for youth ages 13 and younger. The program runs from June 5 through July 28, with registration beginning on Monday, June 5.
The program is free and open to the public.
At registration, participants will receive a raffle coupon for a drawing to win one of eight pairs of tickets to Brookfield Zoo.
The program includes fun weekly crafts, movies, Preschool Storytime and an extended Lego Mania for even more fun.
Mini prizes are won along the way every time a participant completes two hours of reading – 20 minutes a day for six days, as well as an entry into weekly drawings for zoo tickets. At the conclusion of the summer program, four more winners will be drawn to win one of four pairs of zoo tickets. Participants who complete a log sheet receive a gift book and may take a second log sheet to continue playing to win prizes.
