 Calling all spies!
This year Lloydminster Public Library is looking for curious and adventurous readers to become Agent 009 with the TD Summer Reading Club.
Once again TD Bank Financial Group has partnered with Library and Archives Canada and Toronto Public Library to create the Summer Reading Club.
Studies show that children who read throughout the summer maintain their literacy skills at a higher level than those children who do not. Reading develops children's imagination, teaches new vocabulary, expands a child's memory, and instills self-confidence.
Check out what's happening at Lloydminster Public Library:
