OSWEGO – Oswego Bookmobile will be Driving Books Home to Oswego neighborhoods this summer for their eleventh season beginning on Monday, July 5 and running through Friday, August 20.
The summer reading theme for 2021 is Tails & Tales. Each week will have a theme organized around a weekly book choice. The weekly themes this summer are:
Week 1: The Better to Read You My Dear
Week 2: Fur, Feathers, and Scales “Oh My!”
Week 3: Hopping Into a Great Tale
Week 4: In an Ocean Far, Far Away
Week 5: Read, Connect, Protect
Week 6: Man’s Best Friend
Week 7: There’s No Place Like Home
Children and youth up to age 18 are invited to visit the bookmobile once a week at any of the scheduled stops and select a free book, healthy snack, and a “grab and go” STEAM activity bag.
With the support of a Youth Development Program grant from Oswego City County Youth Bureau, Oswego Bookmobile is able to provide STEAM “grab and go” bags with activities for the whole family.
Their stops for the 2021 season will be:
Mondays: 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. Charles E Riley Elementary School; 12:30 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. East Park/Washington Square Park
