Summer Meals at the library!
The Lansdowne Library is pleased to be able to offer summer meals beginning June 20th
through August 12th. Children ages 18 and under may stop by for lunch, Monday through
Friday, which will be served from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm

Experiment and Explore Early Literacy!
It's a summer reading challenge for our youngest library friends!
Each week we will focus on one of the pre-reading skills and explore them through fun
activities.
At the completion of the program children will earn a prize.
The six skills are
Print motivation - or liking books - means children will want to learn to read.
Phonological awareness - helps children sound out written words.
Vocabulary - helps children recognize written words and understand what they
read.
Narrative skills - helps children develop thinking and comprehension
skills.
Print awareness - helps children feel comfortable with books and
understand that print is useful.
Letter knowledge - helps children figure out how to sound
out words.
