Did you know that reading can be fun...and rewarding? Reading is one of the best ways to boost knowledge and literacy skills over the summer months while children are out of school.
Last summer, Josiah Bartlett Elementary School Library partnered with the Bartlett Public Library and the Collaborative Summer Reading Program to offer a summer reading challenge! The 2025 Summer Library Program theme was Color Your World!
Visit the library this summer to check out books, complete a bingo sheet, and enter to win awesome prizes! Many thanks to our local sponsors for supporting this summer reading challenge.
