News From The Children’s Room

Everyone loves the Summer Reading Club at the Garden City Public Library each year.

New! The Children's Department is holding a Winter Reading Club - Join the IditaREAD! Registration and the club began on January 17th and conclude February 5th. Like the Summer Reading Club each child is asked to read and/or listen to an age appropriate number of books. Once this is done and recorded on a reading record the reading record is brought back to the Children's Room and redeemed for a prize.

The extremely popular Guessing Game Jars are a part of the Winter Reading Club. Each week there will be a jar filled with different items and all Garden City children preschool through grade 5 are invited to guess the number of the items in the jar. The guesser who comes closest to the actual number wins a mystery prize or the contents of the jar.
