Where Reading Meets Adventure: A Summer of Discovery Awaits
This summer, the Santa Clarita Public Library invites the community to “Unearth a Story.” From Monday, June 8, through Friday, July 24, readers of all ages can discover a season packed with prehistoric fun, hands-on learning and unforgettable adventures designed to turn reading into an experience. Inspired by dinosaurs, exploration and discovery, this year’s Summer Reading Program will bring interactive events, creative activities and outdoor experiences to every Library Branch. Families can expect everything from themed crafts and performances to educational programs and exciting challenges that encourage curiosity all summer long.
The adventure officially begins at the Summer Reading Kick-Off on Saturday, June 13, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Old Town Newhall Library Branch (24500 Main Street). Guests can enjoy activities, entertainment and opportunities to sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge before diving into a summer full of stories waiting to be uncovered.
Throughout the season, readers are encouraged to participate in the Summer Reading Challenge by logging their reading days at SantaClaritaReads.com. Whether reading a few pages or finishing an entire book, every day spent reading helps participants earn books and prizes along the way. Families can also enjoy the return of Check It OUT-Side every Tuesday during the Summer Reading Program. These outdoor events bring story time and family-friendly activities to local parks throughout the community, creating even more opportunities to learn, play and connect beyond Library walls.
Lunch at the Library will also return to the Old Town Newhall and Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy (18601 Soledad Canyon Road) Branches from June 8 through July 24. Free, healthy lunches will be available for youth 18-and-under, Monday through Friday, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. This program is made possible through partnerships with School Day Café and the USDA Summer Food Service Program. Lunch at the Library is a project of the California State Library, supported with funds from the State of California.
