Summer Reading Program 2026

Ninilchik Community Library is excited to launch our 2026 Summer Reading Program — Plant a Seed, Read!

First session: Wednesday, May 20th Drop in any time between 2–4pm. No registration required!

Session dates: May 20 | June 3 | June 17 | July 8 | July 22 All sessions run 2–4pm

Open to all ages and abilities. You and your child will set a personal reading goal for the 12-week program — total books or weekly reading time, whatever works best for your family.

Each session includes time to check in on progress, select new books to take home, and complete a fun art project. You don't need to stay the full two hours.

Need help finding the right books? We're happy to help with leveled book selections.

Note: The children's play area will be closed during sessions.

Our monthly board meeting is tonight at 6:00 pm. Have ideas, questions, or just want to see how things run? Community members are always welcome!

Plant & book sale, baked goods, door prizes, contests, and bounce house for the kids!

Explore the art of pen and ink in this hands-on Learning Series workshop at Ninilchik Community Library! Presenter Elizabeth will guide participants through the basics of this classic drawing technique — perfect for beginners and curious creators of all skill levels. Open to ages 5 and older. Join us Friday, April 17, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. A $5.00 suggested donation is appreciated.

🐰 Exciting updates to our Bunny Hop event on Thursday, April 2! 🐣

We've made a few changes to help make the event more enjoyable for everyone:

We are now offering TWO egg hunts!

🌸 Egg Hunt 1: 11:30 AM – 12:00 PM
Designed for our littlest attendees — ages 1–4, homeschool families, and sensory-sensitive children who do best in smaller, quieter groups.

🌸 Egg Hunt 2: 1:00 – 3:00 PM
Open to the public! We'll also be welcoming Ninilchik Elementary School students during this session.

All activities — Indoor Egg Hunt, Cupcake Walk, Coloring, Raffle Baskets, and the Jelly Bean Guessing Game — are available during BOTH sessions. FREE and open to the community!

A big thank you to American Legion Post #18 for sponsoring this event! 🎉
