2019 Summer Reading Program for Adults
Blast off to the library for a season of fun with our Summer Reading Program! As in previous years, it's easy and rewarding. Just read and/or listen to four (4) books between June 17 and August 15. Register using the link on our homepage, and record your titles along the way. Starting June 24, our exclusive Summer Reading Program T-shirt will be available to everyone who has read four books. This limited edition shirt was designed by one of the talented teens in our community. As an additional incentive, anyone who reads at least four books will also be entered into an End-of-Summer Reading Raffle. But don't stop with four books: Keep reading and recording what you've read throughout the entire summer to discover "A Universe of Stories!"

A Word About Holds for Local Book Clubs
Due to Connecticut State Library delivery limitations, the library must suspend local book club support until further notice. In the meantime, the Reference Department is available to assist members of community book clubs in locating available copies of items to be picked up at the owning libraries. We regret this inconvenience and will let you know as soon as we have more information.
Burbio
Burbio.com is a free community-building service that streams all library, school and non-profit events together in one place through a web site, iOS app and Amazon Alexa. Currently, the Welles-Turner Memorial Library calendar, as well as those from the local schools, are available. Expect other non-profits to be added in the school year. |
