2016 Summer Reading Program

We need your help! The John Rogers Library in Dodge is offering a summer library program to the children of our community to encourage them to read for pleasure during the summer and to retain their reading skills. This year’s theme is On Your Mark Get Set Read!!

To add to the fun and to create a sense of challenge that will keep kids reading, we’d like to offer programing, incentives and contest prizes at various times during the summer. Because of our limited budget, we cannot afford to offer this without help.

We appreciate any donation you care to make. Possible donations include items to give away as prizes, small toys, coupons for free goods or services (admission tickets, fast-food coupons), or cash/gift cards to buy prizes and to fund varoius programs thoughout the summer. We will mention the assistance you have generously donated in our all publicity and advertising.
We hope to include you in our summer plans. Many thanks!

We are hoping to have at least two guest programs thoughout the summer to get the children excited about reading and the Library. These guest programs are something the kids look forward to every year.


One of the guests weare hoping to have return tis summer is the Peterson Farm Brothers. We are planning to have them join us for Dodge Daze in July!!!! We are also planning on the UNL cheerleadres and Herbie Husker joining us to kick off our summer reading program. For the FINAL reading party in August we would like to have Animal Encounters return. These three preformances alone are $4000.00, any help that you can give us is greatly appreciated!!!
