​
Book Nook for older kids- Thursdays at 4:00
This story time is for school-age children who still enjoy hearing a book read to them.  (Even adults enjoy listening to stories. Think audiobooks.)

     Once again, the King Solomon’s Lodge of Masons of Waldoboro is offering six bicycles in three different sizes to be raffled to participants of the Library’s Summer Reading Program. 
  
   The bicycles, three boy and three girl styles, come in sizes 16”, 20”, and 24”, and come with helmets. 
    For every five picture books or two chapter books read, participants will earn a raffle ticket. In August, there will be drawings for  the bikes. The more books read, the more raffle tickets in the jar, and the better the chances of winning!
