Hubbard Free Library
Monday, June 22 - Friday, Aug. 14, Summer Reading Program. For kids pre-school - 6th grade (in the fall). This year's theme is It's Summer at Your Public Library! Lots of new books and activities (including a picnic later in the summer) on all the things we do in the summer - camping, swimming, fishing, going on picnics, going to the beach. For every 4 books read, kids receive a prize, and get to add a dollop of ice cream to our giant ice cream cone. Children who are not yet reading may be read to. Kids may sign up on June 22 or anytime thereafter.
Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down Adult Summer Reading Program. Something new this year. Read a book and fill out a Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down review form, letting others know what you thought of the book. Five reviews qualify you for our drawing for a Barnes & Noble gift certificate at the end of the summer. Forms available at front desk.
Every Wednesday, 10:30-11:30 a.m., Children's Hour. Stories and simple crafts for children 2-5; younger and older siblings welcome.
