A Universe of Stories: 2019 Summer Reading Program: June 17th-August 14th
Young people will explore art, nature, storytelling, and science as the Chatham Public Library presents its Summer Reading Program. Sample the many programs designed to delight, inspire, teach, and give each child hands-on experiences. There are so many wonderful books and other media materials we want to share with you!
Stop by the library to pick up a log to keep track of days spent reading. While you are here, register for fun programs, workshops, and performances! Read at least 30 minutes each day to get your reading card punched. The library staff will award incentives for every 5 days of reading! Participation prizes will be awarded throughout the summer. Our summer reading program is sponsored by the Friends of the Chatham Public Library and Stewart’s Holiday Match Grant and Dairy Queen – Ghent.
Individual registration is required for ALL summer reading events.
