Summer is coming and we are gearing up for the "Battle of the Bands". For those of you that don't know what that is, this is a chance for children to show off their exceptional reading skills! We will be having three different age groups- group 1: children entering 1 grade through 3rd grade; group 2: children entering 4th grade through 6th grade; group 3: children entering 7grade -10th grade (and up). The children will form teams of 4 - 6 children or teens and they can sign their team up on June 15, 2010 at the library.
We will be selecting 10 books and the participants will have 8 weeks to read them. During the third week of August, we will then battle to see who is the best readers in Bellingham. On the last day of the battles, we will have an ice cream social for each group as we watch the last battle for each age group. Winners will get their picture taken to be hung on the library wall plus a prize (still to be determined). Everyone will receive a certificate for participating.
