The Hotchkiss Library of Sharon and Scoville Memorial Library's Summer Reading Program:

All Together Now!

June 10th thru August 12th, ages 0-12

We've teamed up once again for a sensational season of summer reading! Designed to motivate children to read, maintain their reading skills during summer vacation and foster the spirit of community, this year’s program theme, “All Together Now” will provide opportunities for children ages 0-5 and 6-12 to flourish. We’ll raffle off program prizes every two weeks, and wrap things up with the grand finale on Saturday, August 12th. Let's keep our summer reading lit! Visit our online calendar for program & event details. Register today!

BIG thank you to Danny for a fabulous All Together Now Sing-Along!
BIG thank you to families and friends for making it happen!

All Together Now: Celebrating our Community!

Saturday, July 22nd @10amat Noble Horizons, 17 Cobble Street, Salisbury, CT

Want to add joy and bring smiles across the community? Join us for an incredibly special morning with family, friends, and residents of Noble Horizons as we come together for community yoga and story time at Noble Horizons. Kathy Voldstad will lead a yoga session for all ages and abilities starting at 10 am. Following, we'll gather refreshments and snacks and join in a story time circle for all ages, and then, middle-grade students aged 10+, who have volunteered, will break out into smaller groups to read a chapter from pre-selected favorite books. Plan on being outside unless it rains. A towel, yoga mat, blanket or chair is ideal for yoga and listening to stories. We're looking for middle grade student volunteers to read to residents. Please consider and sign-up and register here. This will be the third and last prize winning raffle drawing before the final! Don't forget your stamped bingo boards with four in a row for entry!
