Thursday, July 30: Last day of Summer Reading Program

Unearth a Story with the Summer Reading Program! Each summer, we encourage pre-readers, kids, and teens to read books, track their progress to earn free prizes, and explore fun, educational programs and activities with the Wichita Public Library.

The Summer Reading Program is for adults, too! Read any five books or complete five activities from a list provided by the Library to be entered into a grand prize drawing.

Step into the spotlight and experience the magic where Disney meets Broadway! Young performers will sing, dance, and shine to favorite songs from beloved Disney stories that made their way to the Broadway stage — including hits from The Lion King, Aladdin, Frozen, Mary Poppins, Tarzan, Newsies, The Little Mermaid, and more! Each day will be filled with high-energy dance combinations, ensemble singing, theatre games, and creative activities designed to help students grow as performers while having a blast. The camp will conclude with a magical showcase performance where family and friends can see these young stars bring Disney’s Broadway magic to life! Perfect for performers of all experience levels — whether your child is brand new to the stage or already loves the spotlight, Disney on Broadway is the perfect summer adventure! The camp fee is $225.00.

• Full Day Option: $400.00 — Campers may attend both daily sessions and stay all day. Students should bring a lunch to enjoy during the supervised break.

How It Works
Collect your bingo card from Watermark Books & Café or Love of Character. In-store or online.
Get reading and be sure to mark off the corresponding squares on your bingo card.
Once you’ve hit bingo (5 boxes in a horizontal. Vertical. Or diagonal line.) Bring your card into the store and exchange it for a completion prize!
Your completed card will then be entered into a drawing for a grand prize!
Extra Credit: Feel like earning a few more entries? A full card (All 25 squares filled in) will be entered into the grand prize drawing 5 times!

All completed children's cards will receive a prize for turning in the card, and will be entered into the Grand Prize drawing!

Each age bracket will have a Grand Prize winner, which is a tote with a gift card to Love of Character and to Watermark Books & Cafe, with additional goodies!

Participants are encouraged to enter as many bingo cards as they wish. However, completion prizes will only be awarded upon the first entry. Completion prizes may vary, and certain items will only be available while supplies last.

All entries must be returned to Watermark Books & Café or Love of Character by 3 pm on August 31st, to be eligible for the grand prize drawing. No purchase is necessary to participate. If you have any questions, please email us at books@watermarkbooks.com

Children ages 2 and under will develop a love of learning as they sing, dance, and enjoy simple stories. Caregivers will learn tips to encourage their child's early learning development.

Children ages 3-6 will develop literacy skills through active listening, singing, movement, and sharing a love of stories in a group setting.

It's never too early to start your child's love of learning! Music, rhymes, activities, and stories for caregivers and babies aged birth to 18 months.

Art is not only for Art Museums. If a picture is worth a thousand words, it stands to reason that art can tell us a lot about the times and place where it was produced. Local history museums exist to explore time and place.

Featuring works from C.A. Seward, John Noble, Edmund Davison, Birger Sandzen, Bruce McGrew, and more!

On view on the Historical Museum's 3rd Floor, throughout 2026 as part of the ongoing Lois Kay Walls visual art exhibition series produced by the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum.

Be the first to visit this new exhibition during the First Friday opening on April 3, 2026.
