Summer Reading Program Special Guest

On Wednesday, July 8, the Quechee and Wilder Libraries Summer Reading Program will continue with a visit from State Park Representative Derek, who will be discussing “camping.”  This is the next in a series of events for our Summer Reading Program on the theme of “Exploring Our State and National Parks.”

Summer Reading Program is intended to keep kids interested in their library and in reading, even while school is out. Over the course of the summer, we will examine a number of state and national park-related themes.  Children may participate on Wednesdays at Quechee Library at 3:30 in the afternoons, or on Tuesdays, at 10:00 am at the Wilder LIbrary.  We will sometimes have guest speakers and usually have a storytime and a craft activity.  We hope to see you there!

For more information, call the library at 802-295-1232 or email chris@quecheelibrary.org.
