Summer Reading

If summer reading participants do not use READsquared, they are still able to participate in the summer reading program. To do so, download and print the logs below. If a customer does not have access to a computer or printer, they can call either Sycamore Plaza or the Main Library for assistance or ask for a log during curbside pickup. Otherwise, once a section is completed, customers can call the library and a staff member will be available to collect their information and collect their prizes. Further instructions are included in the downloadable forms.

Grab & Go Activities, as well as Book Bundle Request services, are also available by phone request at either Pickerington Public Library location.

Baby Reading Log (under 2) | Child Reading Log (2 -11) | Tween/Teen Reading Log (12 – 17) |  Adult Reading Log (18+)

 Beginning June 8, customers can pick up curbside or call Sycamore Plaza or the Main Library to reserve Grab & Go Activities, which are bags containing a simple craft or activity, supplies, and instructions. Different activities will be available for preschool (ages 3-5), elementary school-aged (ages 6-11), tween/teen customers (ages 12-17) and adults (18+). Grab & Go kits will be available while supplies last.

This project funded in part through a federal Institute of Museum and Library Services LSTA grant awarded by the State Library of Ohio.

Do you miss Early Literacy Classes as much as we do? Learn more on the events calendar. Miss a week or want to watch it again? Family Fun classes are archived on the library’s YouTube channel for a limited time. Recommended ages include 2 to 5-year-olds.

On-Demand Stories & Songs provide an opportunity for families with children 6-years-old or younger to get a personalized early literacy class with a Youth Services staff member on Zoom. This will allow for more one-to-one interaction with families who are missing in-person early literacy classes. Request an appointment by filling out the form or call either Sycamore Plaza or the Main Library, and a staff member will contact you within 48 hours to set up a 20-minute live session.
