Dream Big—Read!
Summer Reading Program Starts at Santa Fe Public Library
Come to any branch and sign up during regular library hours, starting at 10:00 a.m.. Then read or have
someone read to you to earn credit for prizes and bicycles! Open to all children from birth through age
12. Last year 1100 children took part!
The Library is looking for Stellar Readers this summer! Youth who sign-up for Summer Reading Programs can
choose a star, sign their name on the star and place it on the
Stellar Readers Bulletin Board. Have fun, go to the library’s
programs and READ! Studies show that children who read
over the summer maintain their reading level and do not lose
skills learned in the last grade.
The Summer Reading Program runs June 1 through July 28.
The program is free. Every week, every branch features a
performer—from yo yo masters to musicians to storytellers
and each month offers a special craft. The program ends
with a party where readers receive a reading certificate and
a book, plus there will be refreshments.
Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library provide bicycles
for grand prizes at each branch. Drawings are held for the bicycles at the end of Summer
Reading Parties at each location. All program and craft needs are provided by the Friends.
For more information call your local Branch: Southside Library, 6599 Jaguar Road, 955-6783;
LaFarge Library, 1730 Llano Street, 955-4863; Main Library, 145 Washington Ave., 955-2828
For a full Calendar of Events and crafts go to www.santafelibrary.org or visit your local branch.
The program is sponsored by the Friends of the Santa Fe Public Library.

What is the Santa Fe
Woman’s Club?
The SFWC and Library Association
formed in 1892, provides civic,
educational, philan-thropic, &
library support to the City and its
people. The current Woman’’s
Club evolved from the Benevolent
Association and Woman’s Board of
Trade, with the purpose of making
civic improve-ments & establishing
a library.
Over the Clubs long history, it was
“Guardian of the Plaza”, opened
the First Library, reading room, and
maintained the Fairview Cemetery.
The SFWC was named a “Living
Treasure” in 2003, the first club
to be designated as a Living
Treasure.
SFWC heartily welcomes new
members and graciously invites
interested women to attend
meetings, teas or luncheons to
learn about the club. Member
participation is encouraged on
committees as we are a volunteer,
charitable organization. We look
forward to hearing from you,
please call 983-9455 for more
information.
