Patrons of all ages are invited to sign up for the Summer Reading Program, themed "All Together Now," at the Honey Brook Community Library, 687 Compass Road, Honey Brook. The program began on June 3 and will end on Saturday, Aug. 12.

Participants are asked to pick up their Summer Reading Program packages at the library to register and then start reading. Those who bring in their reading log weekly will receive a ticket to be entered into a drawing to earn prizes. Those who bring in a nonperishable food item for the Honey Brook Food Pantry will earn one extra ticket.

Reading logs are customized for various age groups. "Elementary school students should read for a minimum of 30 minutes three times each week," explained Therese Mauchline, programming librarian. "For preschoolers, someone should read to them, and we have a photo that they can color in. Young adults (YA) have to read three YA books or seven graphic novels each week to get their ticket. Adults can earn a ticket when they read two books."

Three gift baskets will be given out in each age group through a random drawing. The preschoolers' baskets contain items such as toys, stuffed animals and games. The school age prize is a Lego kit basket. Adult prize baskets include gift cards, tickets to Longwood Gardens and gift certificates to local restaurants.

"All of the prize baskets contain books," noted Mauchline. The drawing for the prizes will be on Tuesday, Aug. 22.

Also as part of the program, activities will be offered throughout the summer.

New this year is Family Baking with Ms. Therese, which will be offered by Mauchline on Tuesdays, June 27 and July 11 and 25, at 6 p.m. Open to children in grades one through six, the program aims to teach attendees how to use math by measuring the ingredients needed for baking. Dry ingredients will be provided to take home and bake after adding milk, eggs and other items.

Also new this summer is Magic: The Gathering Club on Saturdays, June 24, July 8 and 22 and Aug. 12, from 6 to 8 p.m. The program is open to people age 12 through adult. The library will offer starter sets, or atteneeds can bring thier own cards. "Like Pokemon, it is a card game that started in the'90s but has become very popular again," Mauchline explained. "(Patrons can) come and learn. We will have people available to teach them."
