CBPL release – Beginning Tuesday, July 25, at 4:00pm the Coos Bay Public Library is offering a four-week Reader’s Theatre program for young people ages 10-14. During the program, participants will act out and read scripts based on picture books. The first three sessions (July 25, August 1 and August 8) will be rehearsals; the final date will be a performance for the community (August 15). No acting experience is necessary. Pre-registration is suggested for the event; limited space is available. Participants can register at www.coosbaylibrary.org. The event is part of the Coos Bay Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program. During the summer, the Library offers both a reading challenge and programming for all ages which encourage people to read, learn, connect and find their voice. Beginning June 19 and continuing through August 19, participants of any age can participate in the summer reading bingo challenge, earning badges and entry into prize drawings. Participants who register will get a special prize for entering. This year, people can participate either online or using a paper bingo sheet. Challenge registration is available on the Library’s website or at the Coos Bay Public Library.
