(JKPL) — The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library’s Bookmobile invites the Saipan community to join where “Adventures Begin at Your Library” starting Wednesday, July 10, 2023.
Team JKPL’s Bookmobile encourages everyone from infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to children, teens, and adults to accomplish reading goals and continue learning throughout the summer. The Bookmobile will be conducting JKPL’s free summer reading program from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the following sites:
• Tanapag Youth Center from July 10 to July 12, 2024
• Carolinian Utt/Pavilion from July 17 to July 19, 2024
• Kagman Community Center from July 24 to July 26, 2024
• Fernando M. Benavente Memorial Library (San Antonio) on July 30, July 31, and August 2, 2024
The public is invited to register for the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library’s Bookmobile summer reading program for early literacy, children, teens, and adults during library hours of operation from May 14 to 31, 2024. Seating is limited and registrants must have a valid library card with no library fines.
The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library has provided free summer reading programs to the CNMI community for more than 20 years. The theme this year, “Adventures Begin at Your Library,” invites you to take an adventure in your library through activities, programs, and all kinds of books. By joining the fun, you’ll earn prizes, and connect with others through the power of stories.
JKPL is a member of the Collaborative Summer Library Program and partners with various community donors, sponsors, and agencies (private/public) to promote literacy during the summer. Studies have shown that during the summer, children and teens who aren’t reading or participating in other learning activities can lose up to two months of academic skills achieved during the school year. Participating in the summer reading program can help students avoid the “summer slide.” Additionally, children who see their parents and other adults in their lives reading tend to read more and build healthy reading habits.
