We have activities for all ages planned for June 15th - July 30th (Children & Teens) and June 15 - August 31st (Adults).  Our program this year is slightly different - it is digital or take-home kits. But we are excited to still have our Summer Reading Program this year. Be sure to check out our new app / website Beanstack that will help you track your books this summer! Preregistration is now available for all ages! 

Celebrate Harry's birthday early by testing your knowledge on all things Harry Potter by playing bingo with us! You can download a board early/ draw it/ stop in ahead of time to pick up board or two. We will be calling out spells, names, and other things Harry Potter related on Facebook Live. Hope you can join in on the fun! ​

​Learn how to make sugar scrubs at home with Katie! Katie will take you through the steps LIVE on Facebook and talk about a couple different variations you can do. You will need a few things for a basic sugar scrub:

• small wide-mouth glass mason jar with a lid
• essential oils (optional)
• 1 cup granulated sugar, either white or brown, preferably organic
•  ½ cup oil (olive oil and coconut oil work great)

Each of us has a story worth telling. Right now, Wisconsin Historical Society is looking for stories of COVID 19 and how we coped. Stories can be told via print or through a variety of artistic efforts - quilting, family photos, painting and so on. If planning to research for an in-depth story using a variety of search engines, be careful what you wish for because you're going to find the skeletons in your closet! Presented by Virginia Feld Johnson. Video will be shared online via Facebook and here. 

Have you ever enjoyed the scavenger hunts that we hold at the library? How about one that you can do in your own home?

Our Young Adult Librarian has a challenge. She will have prompts for things you need to find in your home. Take a picture of an item that you feel fits the prompt within the time limit, and show Braelyn a picture that fits the prompt. If you don't make it back in time or don't fulfill the prompt, you will not get a point. The person/family with the most points at the end gets a prize!

Have fun and challenge yourself to see the potential in your household items.
(This program is open to anyone and will be held via Google Hangout. Braelyn asks that only one phone is capturing prompt pictures per video: for example, if a family is participating via one webcam, please don't have every family member taking pictures individually.)

The Algoma Public Library is excited to announce that our Summer Reading Program is ON!

Join us for our Kick-Off celebration for this year's Summer Reading Program by attending our online Read-aissance Festival!

The Festival will be held on Facebook Live and will include a very special storytime, craft, and fun, along with each librarian highlighting what our patrons can look forward to for digital and take-home programs for each age group.

Once our Festival is over, anyone interested in picking up a physical reading log and registration (for those not interested in Beanstack reading app) can call the library during our curbside hours to schedule a pick up.

We can't wait to see you at the Festival!
