Summer programs at the Echo Park libraries
Echo Park, Edendale, and Silver Lake Libraries:
Free puppet shows, magic shows, music, storytimes, crafts, and lots of books to read!
When you join the free 2011 Summer Reading Club, you will receive a game board. See if you can “read around the world,” 30 minutes at a time! After you read 2 hours, you get a sticker and a chance to win a prize. After you read 8 hours, you get a free book to take home. If you read 15 hours, you might win a Grand Prize!
New this year – a special game board just for kids ages 0 to 4 and their parents! Young kids and parents do fun activities together, such as reading books, going to library storytime, and making animal noises. After you finish the game board, the child gets a free book to take home and is eligible for a Grand Prize.
In the Summer Reading Club, you get to read whatever you want – for fun! And the more you read, the better you get at it.

Teen tarot programs stereotype culture. Tarot was made for card games and not divination. Why can’t American libraries give a more balanced and less stereotypical presentations of tarot. You should be telling people how to play card games with tarot instead of always having these biased programs about fortune telling because people also play games with tarot. It’s not just fortune telling.
excellent points altogether, you simply won a logo new reader.
