New after-school literary program at San Juan Island Library

Submitted by the San Juan Island Library

On Aug. 31 registration begins for The Story Circle, a new after-school literary enrichment program for students in grades K-2nd or home school equivalent. This free program is being offered by the San Juan Island Library for the 2018-2019 school year.

The Story Circle will include bi-weekly Thursday afternoon programs at the library with a snack, read alouds, multi-media, and activities to reinforce the story themes. Another critical component of the program is family reading time at home using classic stories for the transitional reader. The first selection to be featured will be Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne. Each family will receive their own free book to keep.

The Story Circle is made possible through funding by the Friends of the San Juan Island Library. For more info, call 60-378-2798 or visit www.sjlib.org.
