2020 Summer Learning Program
The Concord Free Public Library invites kids and teens to join the 2020 online Summer Learning Program, ”Imagine Your Story.” The program runs June 15 - August 31 and is free and open to children from preschool through high school.
The goal of the Summer Learning Program is to keep kids and teens reading and learning during summer, ensuring that they maintain or gain skills and start the next school year on track and ready to learn. The program focuses on steam-related, educational, fun and enriching activities. The Library will host weekly learning challenges, and give kids an opportunity to share their creations in a fun supportive environment. Kids will be encouraged to participate in Chronicling Concord through Covid-19 initiative. Programs will include storytimes, book groups, concerts, cooking workshops, a trivia game contest, a superhero costume party, a science game, writing workshops, a photography workshop, a paper clay workshop, and an Alien adventure game. The summer fun will culminate in a talent show in which kids and teens are invited to submit a three-minute video of them sharing their special talent. Kids will have weekly opportunities to win gift certificates to local shops. Students at Concord Public Schools can earn 2 free homework passes for participating. The program seeks to encourage kids to develop a civic spirit and charitable, community-minded outlook.
On behalf of the children’s participation, the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library will make a donation to Gaining Ground , a nonprofit organic farm in Concord, Massachusetts. As an added reward, the kids who have the highest level of summer participation, will be invited to Gaining Ground to present the donation at the end of the summer.
The Summer Learning Program is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library.
