Cool Drinks And Cool Stories

At The C.H. Booth Library

Kickoff for the Teen Summer Reading Challenge for Newtown youth in rising grades 6 through 12 is Monday, June 25, from 2 to 4 pm. Students are invited to relax and beat the heat with a delicious custom-made fruit smoothie, then settle back and listen to acclaimed storyteller Jackson Gillman.

Mr Gillman, the “Stand-Up Chameleon,” magically transforms into a wide array of colorful characters. Song, dance, mime and/or sign language might be incorporated into his interactive storytelling.  This program is made possible by the Friends of C.H. Booth Library.

Full details will be available that afternoon for the 2012 Teen Summer Reading Challenge, as well as the schedule of all summer programs for teens.  This year’s Grand Prize is an Amazon Kindle e-reader. Sign-ups are online at www.chboothlibrary.org.
