Find Your Voice! Summer@HPL

Summer@HPL 2023 Reading and Learning Program is about to begin, thanks to a $4990 Quick Grant that Friends of the Homer Public Library received from the Homer Foundation. We are especially grateful to the Opportunity Fund for providing this grant funding. The national theme this year is Find Your Voice!, and the Homer Public Library has planned over 30+ free events to inspire families to read and learn together. The Summer Reading Challenge and Activities will run from June 1 - July 29 and include: the Find Your Voice! Summer Reading Program Kick Off with crafts, games and Storytime; Comic Drawing with Lee Post; Outdoor Adventures and Stories with the Center for Alaska Coastal Studies; Youth Chess Club; Midsummer Magic; Youth Book Clubs; ASL for Kids; Youth Writing Club; Leap into Science; several stories on the Story Walk Trail and more. Some programs require registration, so be sure to check out the website for the full line up of events.
