A NOTE TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS FROM THE REGION 12 LIBRARY TEAM
We encourage all of our Region 12 families to read together OFTEN this summer to create a sense of enjoyment, wonder, and a passion for reading. We also recommend that you visit your public library and participate in One World, Many Stories, the Connecticut summer library program! Browse through your library's awesome collection; spend an afternoon discovering new books and authors; and get to know your children’s librarian. The perfect book awaits you!
Be sure to also check out all of the summer reading incentive programs across Connecticut! Click on the Summer Reading Challenges tab at the top of the page.
