Whether keeping
track of the amount of time your children spend reading or the number of
books they have read this summer, children who join the summer reading
program keep their minds active and enter school in the fall ready to
learn and ready to succeed.
Check out our "Uncover Treasure @ Your
Library" video, created by & starring teens & staff of the Western
Carteret Public Library.
This summer's
theme, Dig Into Reading, is about the wonders under our feet- buried
treasure, evidence of ancient civilizations, insects, dinosaur bones,
and more. We hope that you and
your family enjoy looking at books and reading together and that you
discover the treasures of your library.
