Summer Reading 2017

It's gray and rainy outside, but with six more weeks of school, summer is on the minds of the wonderful librarians at the Newton Free Library!

This year the summer reading program has changed a bit.  Instead of earning little individual prizes, children preK-rising grade 5 can log their reading minutes online and help earn a community prize for the Newton Free Library!  Be sure to fill out a postcard and share with Mayor Warren what you are reading this summer.

Get in the Game...READ!

Let the Games Begin!

This year the Newton Free librarians and the Newton Elementary School library teachers got together and came up with suggested reading lists for children entering grades 1-6.  The Newton Free Library is hosting all kinds of wonderful reading events and prizes, details can be found here:

Individual reading lists can be found under each grade tab.  Remember, these are suggested reading lists, the important thing is to READ and HAVE FUN!

It's May, and the weather is glorious, which means there are only a few more weeks until summer vacation!  Time to start looking everywhere for those missing library books: under beds, in closets, on book shelves, grandparents houses...

If a book can't be found, replacement costs are $15 for all books.

The Newton Free Library will be visiting grades 3-5 to showcase their summer reading program. You can find out more about their reading suggestions and incentives here:
