WHAT’S HAPPENING
                             at your Library?
 Mountains of Possibilities
Summer is here, which means a break from school and time
for fun summer vacations. I have fond memories of enjoying
the lazy days of summer break— I also remember the groans
of returning to school in the fall. I know I forgot so much
during the summer each year. The Loveland Public Library
has always been committed to helping reduce that summer
slide. We are supporting children and teens beyond reading
through our Summer Learning Program: Mountains of
Possibilities. This program incorporates reading, hands-on
learning, exploration and so much more.
We know kids learn best when they are engaging with
something that interests them. With this in mind, children
and teens will have the opportunity to decide how they
participate in the Summer Learning Program. The Library’s
goal is to help kids learn throughout the summer so that they
can return to the classroom engaged and ready for another
successful school year. We’ll have special programs and
events, reading and learning challenges, prize drawings, and
more all summer long.

Adults and families can participate by completing reading and technology challenges for a chance to
win prizes. They also can support small business in Loveland and get special deals at participating
businesses. Around the downtown area, participating merchants are offering special deals for anyone
with library cards. By showing your library card, you have the opportunity to save money and support
the Loveland business community.
The Loveland Public Library invites you to enjoy the lazy days of summer exploring fresh ideas,
learning new things and supporting local businesses.

MOUNTAINS OF POSSIBILITIES
              Summer Learning Program

 What is the Summer Learning Program?
Every summer, your library runs the Summer Learning Program (SLP) in June and July. This year’s
program is Mountains of Possibilities. The program is designed for people of all ages to continue
exploring throughout the summer and foster a joy of knowledge and learning year-round. We
especially encourage kids and teens to participate while they are on a break from school. Research
shows youth can lose up to three months of learning during the summer. This phenomenon is known
as “summer slide” and can be prevented by reading as few as four books.

We offer special events throughout the summer, and participants can register for their own challenge,
which comes with opportunities to win prizes. Each age group has their own challenge structure.

 How Do I Participate?
Each participant will complete missions to earn points toward their challenge. To register, create an
account with an email/username and password at: http://loveland.readsquared.com/

Parents can create “family” accounts by clicking the “myself + other readers” tab. Parents will be asked
about their own personal information first and then can add additional readers.

Registration is based on age group, and each age group’s challenges and
missions are structured a little differently:
      Children – ages 0-10
      Teen – ages 11-17 (or entering grades 6-12)
      Adult – ages 18+

Once you register, you can participate online with ReadSquared, which
tracks your activities, points, and badges earned. There’s even an app you
can add to your phone or tablet to help you keep track on the go. You don’t      MOUNTAINS OF
have to keep track of your progress online, though. We also have print logs
                                                                                 POSSIBILITIES

What About Technology Missions?
You can find technology missions in your missions list too! These special missions will help you get
familiar with the Makerspace Lab on the second floor and introduce you to using maker technology
like 3D printers. There are special technology classes you can register for, and every Friday in June and
July from 2-4pm, we’ll have an open house where you can visit the Makerspace Lab to learn about the
different equipment available for your creative projects.

Are There Special Deals?
You can use your library card to get special deals at participating businesses in June and July! Enjoy
popcorn as you watch the latest blockbuster, gather your friends for laser tag and arcade games, or
indulge in delicious treats around town. See page 6 for details.
