MWR- First for Fun
MWR is your hometown recreation specialist. We are
here to help you enjoy your tour and distress after those long
workdays. We have a variety of facilities and activities to
meet almost every need.
Youth are our most important asset and MWR’s facilities
have our most precious community members in mind. The
Child Development Center (CDC) offers care for children
6 weeks to 5 years. The program features
creative activities to stimulate children’s Jllll
minds while they play. Who said learning e 7\ \f\/\ 3
wasn’t fun? The CDC
CKiid also houses the Child Development Homes
____Sm^^ICDH) office. The CDH office maintains
the waiting list for care on Keflavik and is
the agency who can help you start your own childcare busi-
ness.
The Youth Center takes up where the CDC program
stops. The Youth Center provides activities and
guidance for children from five to 12. Like the ''j
CDC, you must register and wait for a space Youth <

enjoy field trips and Boys and Girls Club activities through-
out the year.
Boys and Girls Clubs. To register, pick up an application at
the CDC, the Youth Center or the Teen Center and turn it in

When school’s out, let the kids bum off some steam at
the Playzone. It’s located behind Service Central and the
Mini Mart and offers a safe, indoor place
for the children to play. The facility is open
to children 12-years-old and younger with
adult supervision. However, only children 10-years-old and
younger are allowed on the equipment. Don’t stay cooped-up
in the house on raining days; head over to the Playzone and
watch the children run and have fun.
Just next door to the Playzone is the Polar Roller Rink.
■. It’s open from 6-9 pm on Friday, 1 - 8 pm on

Library’s Reading Program Beats the Goal
On August 18, our summer reading program, “Get Wrapped Up in Reading,” came to a close. The summer reading program
is designed to help retain or improve reading skills during the summer months and to promote reading for fun. Readers sur-
passed this year’s goal of 20,000 pages by reading a total of 30,749 throughout all age groups. This
year’s Egyptian theme was incorporated into exciting weekly activities. The participants made book
marks with their names in hieroglyphics, built pyramids, and assembled Egyptian headdresses.
Awards and prizes were given to our top readers from each age group. Linday Vance (6-7 years
old group) took home a remote control “Nile Crocodile” as a reward for completing 1,531 pages.
Jacob Peacock (8-9 years old group) received a 3D Egyptian puzzle and an “Egyptology” book, for
recognition of his 3,795 page accomplishment. Geneva Croxton (10-11 years old group) read 6,450
pages and was awarded with an Egyptian board game and an “Egyptology” book. Congratulations
to all of our winners for a job well done!
Story Time for children ages 3-5 returns September 8. Please join us for a story and craft every
Thursday, from 10:15 -11:15 am. Volunteers to read and help with crafts are appreciated.
