Pueblo City-County Library District (PCCLD) is gearing up for summer fun! Did you know with our Seed Library all PCCLD cardholders can check out five seed packets per visit? These seeds can range from native wildflowers to vegetables like tomatoes and carrots. Each PCCLD location has its own Seed Library!
You’ve got the seeds, now you need the tools! Visit the Rawlings and Giodone branches to see our Tool Library! From shovels to wheelbarrows, we have options for everyone who needs to get some yard work done. Save money, reduce waste, get exercise and learn a new skill for the season!
School’s out and Summer Reading is on! Designed to help young readers build confidence while encouraging the joy of reading, our Summer Reading program is a perfect way to keep readers, ages 0-19, engaged and ready for the upcoming academic year. This year we will Unearth a Story. Whether readers are digging into a good book or uncovering hidden history, we’re celebrating all the things reading can unlock!
Have your young reader grab a game board where they can track their reading of 30 minutes, 50 pages or one book, along with doing one activity from attending a Summer Reading program, checking out a digital book, visiting a PCCLD location, outside of their home library, or reading a graphic novel each week to receive a prize and to be entered in the weekly grand prize drawing.
Weekly prizes include coupons from Chick-fil-A, El Pueblo History Museum and many other local and national brands. Weekly grand prizes are a wide variety of party packages from Pueblo Zoo, Copper River Family Restaurant and Entertainment and Pueblo Ice Arena!
Join us for Books in the Park! Started in 2004 as a way to bring library services to children who might not otherwise have the opportunity to visit the library. The program allows children to complete their Summer Reading game board, attend storytimes and make crafts! Attend a Books at the Park event at Langoni Sports Complex, Monday and Tuesday from 10 a.m. to noon or at Lake Minnequa Park and Open Space from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Continue learning this summer by staying active at the library! More information about Summer Reading and programming can be found on our website at pueblolibrary.org/summerreading. Happy reading!
