Be a Part of the 2024 Summer Reading Club Decorations!

This summer’s theme is “Adventure Begins at Your Library” and we want to feature the children of our community throughout our themed decorations.

To participate, we ask that you submit 3 headshots of your child.

• Photos should be of babies to those entering 6th grade.
• Please photograph your child holding a favorite book in one or more of the poses we have suggested below.
• We can’t wait to see your child’s cute face! Please make sure that they are looking directly at the camera and that their face is not obscured by the book.
• Please no group photos. Each child’s picture should be as an individual.
• All images that are used will be displayed for the entire year.

Photos should be emailed to kids@emmaclark.org. *Please include the child’s full name and age. 

*The deadline for submitting photos is Saturday, March 30. (no photos will be accepted after this date).  

Please use the sample images below as a model for your photograph.

Tips for taking your photos:

• You may use a smartphone, however if you have a digital camera the print-outs will be clearer.
• Please submit high-quality JPEG or TIFF files.
• When taking photos:
  • The brighter the picture, the better.
  • If it’s a sunny day, shoot pictures in the shade to avoid shadow.
  • Take the picture with the sun behind the photographer.

Questions?  Email kids@emmaclark.org.

Help Us with Our Scarecrow!

Kids, be a part of the Emma S. Clark Library’s official entry for The Ward Melville Heritage Organization’s Annual Scarecrow Competition! Simply color a page at home and hand it in at the Children’s Reference Desk before September 19. We’ll laminate it and attach it to our scarecrow.

Coloring pages are available HERE or at the Children’s Reference Desk at the library.
