Caught Doing Good
Last week Ms. Pamela Smith, Communications Director, was #caughtdoinggood! Ms. Smith is usually the person behind the camera but this time we caught her by surprise. During this touching moment of recognition, her colleague Dr. Frederick Fields, Director of Student Services, raved that Ms. Smith touches every aspect of the District as she plays a major role in the coordination of most District events. Ms. Hope Worsham, Executive Director for Curriculum and Instruction, gave a heartwarming account of her first encounter with Ms. Smith, recalling how welcomed Ms. Smith made her feel. In order to watch the full video of Ms. Smith's team and colleagues catching her off guard, click the link below! Thank you so much for all that you do Ms. Smith, we are so lucky to have a true gem like you on our team! #LRSDPowerofUS

CALS
SUMMER READING CLUB PACKED WITH PET PARADE, MERMAIDS, AND PRIZES
Library system offers “Tails & Tales” themed events
throughout June and July
|
|
|
|
Registration is open for Central Arkansas Library
System’s (CALS) annual Summer Reading Club. From June 14 to July 31,
CALS will be offering weekly programs and contests for readers of all
ages, including grab-and-go activities, socially distanced in-person
events at various branches, and virtual events taking place on
Facebook, YouTube, Zoom, and other digital platforms. To register and
view the full calendar of “Tails & Tales” themed events, visit
cals.org/summer-reading-club.
“Each summer, we look forward to developing programs that encourage
reading and spark the imagination,” said Ellen Samples, CALS Youth
Services Coordinator. “‘Tails & Tales’ is such a fun theme because
there are so many great books we can explore at any age with tales
about all sorts of tails—dogs, dinosaurs, and even mermaids.”
This year, summer reading participants can look forward to new
activities, including a Virtual Pet Parade. To enter the pet parade,
families can submit photos or videos of their pets from June 1 to 30,
and submissions will be used to create a virtual pet parade that will
be broadcast via the CALS Kids Facebook page on July 13 at 2 p.m. There
are many other events, including Storytime Live featuring several guest
readers, virtual fieldtrips, Bingoflix for the adults, and crafts,
including DIY fairy houses.
Everyone who registers for Summer Reading Club is eligible to receive a
free tote bag filled with goodies (while supplies last). There will be
weekly drawings for prizes done at each branch. To be entered into the
drawing, participants must earn a “badge.” Badges are earned by logging
and reviewing books or movies as well as completing activities or
attending virtual programs. And upon completion of the program, kids
and teens will receive a free book.
“Summer should always be fun, but it’s important for kids to continue
learning,” Samples added. “Summer Reading Club is a great combination
of the two.”
