Huntingdon Valley Library is delighted that this year’s Summer Learning Program theme, All Together Now, honors community, kindness, friendship, and unity. Our hope is that this year’s theme will help patrons participating in the program to think more about their communities and ways to help them be nicer places to live.

This year's Summer Learning Program will run for 6 weeks from June 26-August 6. Summer Learning Programs promote literacy for all ages by keeping youth engaged in reading and encouraging adults to read with their children, as well as providing family activities for those who might not be able to otherwise afford them.

We will have events for all ages. Events will include presentations by the Eyes of the Wild, magician Ran’D Shine, improv duo DJ Mixup, and Lenape storyteller Adam Waterbear DePaul; a music class for children with Music Play Patrol; game nights for teens and families, an art class for adults; STEM events for elementary students; Tai Chi classes for adults; a Chopped cooking challenge, a Survivor team challenge, soapmaking, and karaoke night for teens; Crafternoons and outdoor activities for children; Adult Book Club; Storytimes; and much more!

One of the main ways that we build excitement for the Summer Learning Program is through raffle prizes. Patrons who reach their reading goals earn raffle tickets. Prize donations from community businesses in the past have included gift certificates, free services, coupons, and physical items. We understand that not every business is in a position to contribute, but we would greatly appreciate it if you are able to donate something toward our cause. In addition to any donations being tax deductible, all donors will receive public recognition in our Summer Learning Program publicity materials. Thank you for your consideration.
