Summer Reading Programs at Your Local Library!
Enfield Public Library
This year’s Summer Reading theme is “All Together Now,” a celebration of kindness and community.
Kickoff is June 26! Stop by the library to celebrate with a sweet treat!
How to Participate - Help us build our Kindness Chain!
We’ll add a link to the chain for every activity you report!
- Kids: Record reading 15 minutes a day, as many days as you can, and fill out summer reading materials (bingo card or coloring sheets). Return these to the library by August 3rd.
- Teens: Read a book about kindness or community to be entered in the drawing (fill out a slip at the library or email us). We’ll build a list of the books we’ve read this summer.
Prizes!
There will be prizes for kids! Teens and adults will be entered in a raffle for a King Arthur Baking gift basket (first prize), and gift cards for local businesses (2nd and 3rd prize)
