This summer, Chatham-Kent Public Library is inviting youth to let their imagination soar with fairytales, myths and legends.
Kids can sign up for TD Summer Reading Club beginning Saturday, June 25, and can participate all summer long.
When kids sign up for summer reading June 25 to June 30 they will receive a ballot to be entered into a draw to win one of six awesome prize packs sponsored by Achom Shriners.
Through books, programs, and conversations, TD Summer Reading Club kids will explore stories that have been told all over the world by different peoples and cultures.
Children read fines-free all summer long!
