The Durham and Middlefield Libraries have created some fun-filled and educational events to keep kids and teens engaged and challenged this summer.
In Durham, the Summer Reading Kickoff Event, "Sciencetellers: Dragons and Dreams," is on Monday, June 30th at 6:30 p.m. Sciencetellers uses visually-exciting science experiments to bring the sights and sounds of a story to life. Children will be enthralled as they watch and listen to the 45-minute interactive storytelling show. Registration is required.
Kids who read at least one book per week and come in to the library to record their reading will receive a prize or a coupons for a treat from a local business.
