Wyoming, ON –  It's going to be a summer of mystery, agents, eyeball benders and owls @ your library with Lambton County Library's 2009 Summer Reading Programs.  All programs run from July 2 to August 22. 

Agent 009 is the theme of the TD Summer Reading Program available for children ages 0-12.  Agent 009 is a super sleuth, secret agent, investigator, inspector or private detective who encourages participants to read…read…read…mystery, suspense and more!  Beginning July 2, students can pick up a reading passport from their local library to record their personal weekly reading goals and help their branch library adopt an owl from the World Wildlife Fund.  Participation prizes include a pencil, tattoo, posters, stickers and bookmark.  Children should be advised to contact their local library for information on the activities and crafts planned or visit our web site at www.lclmg.org. 

Tweens, ages 9-12, are also encouraged to participate in the contest "Eyeball Benders" which features common library objects in an uncommon perspective.  Each week 4 new eyeball benders will be posted at www.lclmg.org .  Tweens can help identify the mystery objects and fill out a ballot at their library with their guesses, or email them to greer.macdonell@lambton.county.on.ca, Correct ballots will be placed in a draw for the grand prize of a PlayStation Portable.

Teens, ages 12-18, can participate in the Teen Survivor Program. Ten books, involving murder, mayhem and mystery, have been selected.  Readers can vote for their favourite title during the final week for a chance to win a prize, including the grand prize of an iPod Touch.  Books are available by reservation at any Lambton County library or online at www.lclmg.org.

Lambton County’s 26 branch libraries provide a variety of FREE services to the public including programming and Internet access.  For more information about Lambton County Library, visit www.lclmg.org.
