CATCH THE READING BUG AT GREENWICH LIBRARY!

For a full list of Greenwich Library summer story times, programs and summer reading events, look at our monthly calendars (May and June) and our "Catch the Reading Bug" Summer Flyer.

JOIN THE SUMMER READING CLUB!

Catch the Reading Bug by joining the Summer Reading Club at Greenwich Library. The program for students grades K-5 is designed to encourage the joy of reading through activities, games, incentives and a summer full of special programs. Preschoolers and younger siblings can join the fun too, with the Library’s "Read to Me" program. Going away for the summer? A child traveling can still join the club and even send Greenwich Library postcards from camp or vacation with their favorite summer reads! Registration for Summer Reading begins Monday June 16th and continues through the summer. Call 203-622-7940 for further details and register by visiting the Greenwich Library Children’s Room.
