Because of the COVID-19 social-distancing recommendations, Fort Bend County Libraries (FBCL) will offer a different format for Summer Reading Challenge (SRC) programming this year – all activities will be presented virtually so that families can participate from the comfort and safety of home!
Videos of Mother Goose Time, Toddler Time, Story Time, and Middle School Programs will be posted on the FBCL website each week, beginning June 1. Age-appropriate stories, songs, and puppet shows will be featured in the Mother Goose Time and Toddler Time videos, while Middle School Programs will include fun craft demonstrations.
The schedule is as follows:
- Mondays – Mother Goose Time (infants 1-12 months of age)
- Tuesdays – Toddler Time (1-3 years of age)
- Thursdays – Middle School Programs (grades 6-8)
Families of toddlers and preschoolers may pick up to-go activity packets from the library for the month. These packets – available for pick up in June and July — contain fun craft activities that can be done at home.
The School-Age Programs – Wednesdays at 10:00 am – will showcase exciting live-streamed or recorded videos of popular performers that children have grown to love at Fort Bend County Libraries over the years. The live-streamed and recorded videos will be shown on the FBCL website and/or a special Facebook SRC group page, which is accessible at www.Facebook.com/FortBendCountyLibraries.
The June schedule is as follows:
June 3 – Dragons (presented by Science Tellers)
June 10 – Virtual Variety Summer Program (presented by Julian Franklin)
June 17 – Magical Balloon Show (presented by Robb Holladay)
June 24 – Find the Beat with Andyroo (presented by Andyroo & the Andyrooniverse)
