The TD Summer Adventure Club is new! It provides 6 – 12 year olds with hands-on activities like Lego Stop Motion Animation, Pom-pom creatures, Storybird Cyber Camps, Maker Kids, Book Making and more. 2014 parent/guardian feedback prompted us to target the TD Summer Reading Club to 2 – 5 year old children and develop new activities for 6 – 12 year olds. The TD Summer Reading Club & the TD Summer Adventure Club will run on the same day at the same time.

Saskatchewan Shared Programming
• In 2014, the focus of the Summer Reading Initiative was on digital tools and shared practice, including both programming and presentations.
• PLLO purchased Storybird dashboards, gave general grants to support Storybird use, and to LSSAP to develop Saskatchewan cultural content for the Storybird platform.
• Promising Practice grants were offered for programs designed to create toolkits of local programs for publication to the shared repository Library Toolshed.
• MDLP provided all library systems with Tumblebook Library to use as a digital tool, and
• Early Literacy materials were developed for the new shared content management system.
