Signup for the 2015 Troy Public Library’s Summer Library Program begins Friday at the library.

The summer program is for ages 4 through 18. The program for ages 4-11will run from June 8 through July 21. The young adult program, for ages 12 through 18, will run from June 11 through July 16.

Teresa Colvin, TPL children’s and young adult librarian, said this year’s Summer Library Program offers a variety of programs and events for all ages.

“The theme for our children’s summer program is ‘Every Hero Has a Story’ and we’ll be hearing many fascinating stories about our heroes,” Colvin said. “Our younger age group will learn about Superheroes, firefighters, policemen and animal heroes.

“Our older children will attend the Superhero Academy, attend a magic show and go on a Hero’s journey. The scientists from the McWane Science Center always have amazing things to see and do. Movie Day brings the Summer Library Program to a close and it will be a very exciting movie.”

The theme for the young adults’ Summer Library Program is “Unmask!” and will feature “A Murdererous Melodrama” in which the participants will help solve a murder mystery.

“The young adults always enjoy the challenge of ‘minute to win it’ game,” Colvin said. “‘Dr. Who’ will be our limited number event and Movie Day is always a ‘sell out.’”

Colvin said all Summer Library Program events and activities are designed to encourage summertime reading.

Awards will be presented to the top readers in the children’s and young adults’ programs at the end of the Summer Library Programs.
