Library Marks Summer's End with Carnival

Students who read an extraordinary number of books were invited to attend.

The Library of the Chathams bid farewell to summer with their annual carnival for members of their Summer Reading Club.

Each summer the library offers the chance for children ages 12 and under to earn prizes by reading as many books as possible. Once they finish a book, children discuss them with a student volunteer. Readers roll dice to answer a question, such as "What was the most exciting part of the book?" As children read more books, they qualified for an invitation to the festival.

The theme for this year's Summer Reading Club was "Dream Big — Read!"
