“Be Creative @ Your Library” this summer at Benson Memorial Library and explore the worlds of music, dance art, books and much more. The 2009 Summer Reading Program is open to young people, ages 3 through young adult, with programs, prize drawings, story programs, puppet shows and much more. Every day the children can come in and play the “library game” that helps guide them to all types of books. The game has two reading levels, a Read-to-Me level and an Individual Reader. There are a variety of programs offered for all age groups.

Benson Library is joining the Oil 150 celebration by having a variety of programs related to the history of Titusville and the oil region, including storytellers, a scavenger hunt and a special tea party.

Young adults, grades middle school and up, can participate in their own reading program, Express Yourself @ Your Library starting June 8 – July 11. Area teens are invited to take part in this program. Weekly prizes will be drawn for participants.

All activities are free and open to the public. Registration for the summer reading game and other activities begins Monday, June 8.
