FARMINGTON — Farmington Public Library has announced its fun summer of reading program, “Build a Better Summer,” with games and prizes.

Children can keep a record of their reading and earn prizes. The program is free, open to any child, and no library card is required to participate.

Books read do not have to be library books. Children of all ages, readers and listeners, can register anytime through Aug. 10 to participate, but prizes are limited, so early registration is recommended. Prizes are donated by Pizza Hut, Subway, Gifford’s Ice Cream, Devaney, Doak & Garrett Booksellers, Narrow Gauge Cinemas and Portland Sea Dogs.

Borrowing privileges are free to Farmington residents, students in School Administrative District 9 and Industry and Starks residents, through reimbursement from one’s town office. Nonresidents may join the library for $25 per year per household.

Each week will feature building and art construction projects in addition to its regular story programs.

• Baby Rhymes is set for 10 a.m. Wednesdays. Babies and toddlers and their caregivers will gather for rhymes, songs, movement, play and stories.
