2009 SUMMER READING

Catch a dragon
by the tale!

Kent Memorial Library welcomes Suffield residents in grades
K - 5 and preschoolers

2009 Summer Reading Program.


Here's how it works
All you need to do is promise to read 5 to 15 minutes per day, and as you read a book (or 2 or 3...) come to the children's room at the library to log your title(s). When you do, you'll earn the give-away for the week: a make-your-own sticker, cookie coupon for Highland Park Market, High Five Ruler Bookmark, and more. If you read and log in books on four separate weeks, you'll then earn the
GRAND PRIZE GIVE-AWAY
A DISK LAUNCHER
