Altus AFB Library
The Altus Air Force Base Library will be participating in the DoD MWR Libraries’ Summer Reading Program, A Midsummer Knight’s Read. Children can anticipate lots of princesses, kings, queens, knights, fairies, swords, magic, and castles!
The storytime for the base library has been revised, so please be sure to review the Storytimes section for updates. In addition to adding an evening storytime, a special program for “tweens” (students in grades 5 – 8) has been created. Check with the library for events! All children are encouraged to read throughout the summer and log their hours, for the chance to win cool incentives as part of the program, and receive a t-shirt for participating! A new book club, The Mind Explorers’ Social, will meet each month for discussion and fun. New members are always welcome!
