Summer Reading At The Library

For more than 20 years C.H. Booth Library has encouraged children to read during their summer vacation by sponsoring an independent reading program for children ages 4 through grade 5.

This year’s summer reading program officially ends August 19. All reading reports must be completed by that day to qualify for the reading incentives, but there is plenty of time to start reading.

Nearly 500 children have already signed up for the reading program and to date, approximately 3,000 books have been read. The library’s map of the United States – created to graph the number of books children in town read this summer – is only 60 percent colored in, however.

Young adult volunteers are on duty during all library open hours to listen to book reports. Visit the library, at 25 Main Street, call 426-4533 or visit
