Whether close to home or far afield, we hope you’ll participate in this year’s Friends Free Library summer challenge: a Summer Reading Road Trip!
For more information, click on the link for the division your student will be part of in September (but feel free to explore others as well).
Early Childhood, Lower School, and Middle School students will come home with a printed roadmap before the end of the year. Parents and caregivers, you’re invited to participate too—please stop by the library to pick up your own summer reading roadmap!
Summer Reading Programs:
- EC & Lower School Instructions & Roadmap
- Middle School Instructions & Roadmap
- Upper School Summer Reading Challenge
- Grown-up Summer Reading Instructions & Roadmap
Please email the library with any questions. And wherever the road takes you this summer, happy reading!
