“They’re all virtual,” said Davis County Library Director Matt Goff. “We’re playing it safe for now.”

All of the programs will be recorded with links on the library’s website, Goff said. “Except storytime, that will be live on Zoom, Wednesdays at 10:30 a.m. They’ll need to register so the person who runs it knows to let them in.”

Summer reading packets will be available at all of the branches and includes reading trackers that can be filled out for a reward, a new story to read and activities to do, he said. 

The first virtual program, Fairy Tales with Dewey the Dragon starts June 6 – 12. “Every week there is a new program,” said Goff. “We also have classes for teens with a reading tracker and take home kits for them to do.”

There are programs for adults with trackers too, he said. “We found that last year during the pandemic a lot of adults just wanted something to do. Some time the pandemic will end and we’ll find ways to get authors to come.”

Goff said they’ve been getting 30 to 50 households on for storytime. “So that’s nice that people are coming.”

For a period of time the libraries were open on a limited basis due to COVID restrictions. “We’re back and ready to go – no appointments,” he said. “We’re excited about the summer programs because we weren’t able to do them last year. We expect it will be a lot of fun. I’ve worked at all the libraries and working at the library is always fun.”
