Summer Reading Program for Teens at the Kewanee Public Library

Junior high and high school students have a great way to cool off and connect this summer at the Lower Level Young Adult Room. The “Plant a Seed, Read!” Summer Reading Program is offering weekly activities all season long. Every Friday, the Youth Gaming Lounge opens its doors for console gaming, featuring the latest systems—Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2. Participants are also encouraged to join the Summer Reading Challenge: track your reading habits and win prizes for enjoying books, manga, or graphic novels. Gather your friends, play games, and discover new stories in the YA room.

Excitement is building at the Kewanee Public Library District with a full schedule of summer activities for young adults entering grades 6 through 9. Highlights include crafting Mosaic Flower Pots on May 27th, a Sphero Robots tech session on May 30th, and an “Escape from the Old Mill” room challenge offered on June 8th and June 10th. Dungeons & Dragons enthusiasts can join a game on June 13th, while creative hands can make Anime Coasters and D&D-themed crafts later in June. Registration details and more information are available at kewaneelibrary.org, by email at [email protected], or by calling 309-852-4505.
