Summer Reading 2020: Imagine Your Story
Summer Reading is going virtual this year! Coos Bay Library has been hard at work implementing new ways to serve our community. During a summer of social distancing, we are excited to announce our online summer reading challenges through Beanstack! Reading programs, activities, and literacy challenges for infants and toddlers, adults, and everyone in between are just a click away. You'll earn prizes, incentives, and enter grand prize drawings without the hassle of paper reading logs. There is even an app available for added convenience. Visit www.coosbaylibrary.org or call 541-269-1101 for more information.

Build Skills Every Day
Little interactions every day can add up to a BIG foundation for learning.
- Talk: Try stopping in the middle of a picture book, and ask your toddler, “What do you think will happen next?” You may be surprised by his answer!
- Sing: Try singing the same song in a high voice, and then a low voice together. Then try soft, loud, and just right!
- Read: Track the books you read together on Beanstack. Use Beanstack’s review feature to record your little one’s experience of her favorite picture books. Create lasting memories to look back on later!
- Write: Is your little one showing interest in numbers? Write the digits 1-9 in bubble letters, then put the correct number of dots inside. Practice counting them together!
- Play: Play Hide and Seek with stuffed animals or dolls. Hide them all around the house and look for them together!

See the Sunflowers
(Tune: Down by the Station)
Out in the garden, early in the springtime,
See the little sunflowers standing in a row.
See the happy farmer giving them some water,
Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp, weed and hoe!
Out in the garden, later in the summer,
See the giant sunflowers standing in a row.
See the happy farmer giving them some water,
Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp, watch them grow!
