Welcome to the Ely Public Library blog!

We hope to provide reviews, reader's lists, pictures, program information, storytime activities you can do at home and much more!  We hope that you will stop by frequently!

Currently, we are working hard to get everything ready for the Summer Reading Program.  This year the theme is Dig Into Reading.  We have all kinds of programs, activities and prizes for all ages.  Registration starts June 1.  Programs begin Monday, June 3 and will end on July 25 with Dan Wardell from Iowa Public Television at 1:30!  Planned events will be posted on the website very soon (http://www.ely.lib.ia.us/), or you can always stop in and pick up one of the pamphlets on the front desk.

An exciting change for the program this year is that we have a Little Diggers program, aimed at children ages birth- 24 months.  Caregivers can do all sorts of things with their little ones to help promote literacy at a young age.  We also have our usual programs for children (geared for children ages 3 through children completing 5th grade), young adult (6th grade-12th grade) and adult (18 and up).  All programs have levels with prizes for reading a certain amount and grand prizes for those who complete the levels.

We are planning on a great summer, so stop in and check out all of the wonderful things happening in Ely!
