The North Country Library System’s Summer Library Adventure is back with a brand-new theme: Color Our World. The self-directed program begins June 22, encouraging people to create art over the summer.

 Participants complete at least one art prompt per week from the Summer Library Adventure Checklist to be entered to win a prize. The checklist is geared toward a variety of ages and skill levels so that everyone can join in.

 NCLS Youth Services and Outreach Coordinator Katie St. Laurent says, “We're super excited about this year's theme! Just like libraries, art is for everyone, and libraries are perfect spaces for people to express themselves and try something new. Plus, this program is a great fit for people who want to get involved with their libraries over the summer but might not always be able to make it to scheduled programs or events.”

 Completed checklists must be returned to a participant’s home library by Tuesday, Sept. 2, or mailed to the North Country Library System by Sept. 12.

 Printable checklists and additional details about the Summer Library Adventure can be found at ncls.org/summer.

 Ten winners will receive an enameled pin of the iconic NCLS cat; four winners will receive a $25 gift card to Michaels, and one grand prize winner will receive the pin, a $50 gift card to Michaels, and a three-month Creativebug membership. Winners will be drawn at random and notified in mid-September.

 Questions can be directed to Angela Newman at anewman@ncls.org.
