[ARCHIVED] “A Universe of Stories” Children’s Summer Reading Launch Day

5…4…3…2…1 - BLAST OFF to “A Universe of Stories” this summer in the Children’s Department at Thomas Branigan Memorial Library! The 2019 Children’s Summer Reading Program will give children and families a chance to explore the wonders of our universe through programs and our annual reading challenge.

Families are invited to try something new by attending our children’s programming and special events. You could hear new stories or songs, read a new book, try a new craft, meet new people, and much more!

The space journey starts 3 p.m. Monday, June 3 with a performance by musician Jordan Wax in the Roadrunner Room. Register for the Summer Reading Challenge at the children’s desk and attend the launch day
