Summer Reading Program
Every summer, Diver Library participates in the NYS reading program to encourage year-round learning. Along with reading initiatives, we plan multiple educational and creative activities for children of all ages throughout the summer months. During the summer of 2021 we hosted 50 unique programs in 8 weeks!
- Let’s Make a Song!:
Our award-winning program! Come to Diver Library to learn how songs are made. Then create original songs all your own and record them with the help of a real band of local musicians! No experience necessary – just a love of music. This program is for kids of all ages – teens and adults, too! Visit our Let\’s Make a Song! page to hear the songs, listen to our WEXT radio interviews, and see photos of the song-making in progress. - Summer Storytime:
A lot like our usual storytime for preschoolers – but during the summer! We like to explore the summer program\’s theme and sometimes have special guests. - Garden Storytime:
When the weather permits, we like to collaborate with our friends at Hoosic Valley Schools and host food centered programs in their vegetable garden. Kids love compost! - Animal Avatars:
Create your own animal avatar to be photographed for a digital \”look book\”. You will choose and research an animal and build your own fun character around your animal\’s unique characteristics. - Story Circles:
All ages, collaborative story writing (Our first book of 13 original stories—300 total pages— by 50 local writers ages 6—75 is coming soon).
Other Things We Do:
- Food for Fines:
Instead of late fees we collect donations for our local food pantry. - Diver Delivers:
We\’re happy to deliver any library items to your door. We don’t have a set service area but so far nobody has asked us to deliver the new James Patterson book to Plattsburgh.
