Participate in one or more of the four main components of the Bulverde/Spring Branch Library summer reading program, below: 

“Read-For-Prizes” program for children of all ages

Children begin receiving prizes for reading after just 10 books or five hours and for every 10 books or five hours thereafter. Separate prizes program for teens. Pick up reading logs at the library starting June 1, print logs off our Web site, or keep track on your own paper.

“Family Program Series” for all ages held Wednesday mornings throughout June and July (except July 4) at 10:30 a.m. at Arlon Seay School Cafetorium, featuring some of the best kids’ entertainers around. No registration necessary – plenty of room – just come!

The first Wednesday Morning “Family Series Program” will take place June 6, and the library has something very unusual planned. Since this summer’s program theme is “Sail Away with Books,” the library has invited Steve Sprague of Incredible Journeys Balloons of San Antonio to bring a full-size gondola balloon to display outside Arlon Seay. He will also bring a 12-foot remote control model for demonstration inside the Arlon Seay Cafetorium. You will certainly want your child to attend this very special program! (No rides, though!)

“Camp Library,” a series of classes and events at the library for age-specific groups of kids. Registration necessary – space limited!

Sign up now for Storytime, Campo de Diversiones para Niños que Hablan Español, Drawing Technique, Yoga for Kids, Book Discussion Group, Kids Can Cook and Kung Fu. Sign-up sheets will be put out June 4 for Storytime, Campo de Diversiones para Niños que Hablan Español, Pirate Party, EMS First Aid, and Beginning Quilting. Watch for sign-up sheets for later events to be put out each Monday, about two weeks in advance of each event.

Teen Program, “After Hours @ the Library”: A just-for-fun interactive program for incoming seventh through 12th graders, held most Friday evenings in June and July starting at 6 p.m. Registration necessary – space limited!

The kick-off teen event on June 8 is the library’s second annual “Grunge Games.” We will meet at the Arlon Seay School playing fields and play the messiest team games ever! Sign up now for Grunge Games (signed parental permission form required) and for Teen Board Game Night (Apples to Apples). Sign up starting June 4 for Teen LAN Game America’s Army which will take place June 22 (signed parental permission form required). Watch for sign-up sheets for later events.

If you are unfamiliar with the Bulverde/ Spring Branch Summer Program, we urge you to talk with other parents whose children and teens have participated during past summers. They are the best advertisement for this program.
