Arthur Johnson Memorial Library in Raton:
Our summer reading program will start on Wednesday, June 17, 2015 at 10 am, and continues for the rest of the summer on Wednesdays at the same time until July 29, 2015 when we will hold are final summer story hour. This years theme is “Every Hero Has a Story”. The program is geared toward children from birth through 4th grade but we do at times have older kids that like to participate and they are more than welcome to come. We hand out reading logs and reward the children for reading. Younger children can also receive rewards when they are read to by family members (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, sisters, brothers, cousins, etc.) or care givers. Come listen to stories, do projects, and read to earn library dollars to spend at our library store “The Fortress”.
On Wednesday, June 17, 2015 at 10 am we will be having a Magician “The Incredible Mr. E and Kyle Groves” to perform for the children. The children really enjoyed them last year and we hope for the same this year

On Friday, June 19, 2015 at 3 pm we will kick off our summer craft hour. It will be every Friday at the same time with the last one being on July 31, 2015. This program is open to all children. If the child is under 10 we request that a older sibling or parent attend to help with the project for that day. We have different projects weekly.
We are having our annual “Friends of the Library Book Sale” that will be held on Saturday, June 27, 2015, from 10 am til 2 pm, on the second floor of the library. We have a variety of books that have been donated by our patrons that we are unable to use in our library due to shelf space. We like to see these books find good homes and that is why we do this sale yearly. Donations of books and time are always welcome to the friends and our library.
