TD Summer Reading Club 2022!
When school is out, Summer Reading Club is in! Beginning Monday, July 4, the Orillia Public Library is bringing the TD Summer Reading Club to Orillia and surrounding townships. The TD Summer Reading Club is delivered by 2,000 public libraries across Canada and is sponsored by TD Bank. Children and their families/caregivers can participate any time and anywhere, whether at local public libraries, at home, or online. This program is designed to help bridge the learning gap between June and September, while also offering fun, free, accessible programs.
Here's how it works:
-
Read something!
-
Tell us about it!
-
We will enter you to win weekly prizes!
We also offer lots of fun programs too! Stay tuned to our website or sign up for our Summer Reading Club eNewsletter for the latest on our Summer Programs. View our program calendar!
