This summer, for the first time, adults and young adults are invited to join a summer reading club at Southworth Library. The theme this summer is “Wild Reads at the Dartmouth Library.” To participate, just fill out a short registration form at the library, pick up a punch card, and start reading. For every 30 minutes that you read, mark off an X on your punch card. When you have read for 6 hours and marked off all 12 Xs, print your name and phone number on the card and drop it into our Wild Reads container. Cards will be drawn from the container to award restaurant gift certificates to lucky summer readers. You may enter a card for every 6 hours of reading, including reading newspapers, magazines, cereal boxes, etc. Keep track of your reading this summer and the library may treat you to dinner!
You can return your library books in the book drop in front of the Dartmouth Town Hall on Slocum Rd. This book drop was purchased with a grant and is a replacement for the book drop at the North Dartmouth Branch Library on Tucker Rd. The North Dartmouth Branch has been closed since last July and its book drop closed on Jan. 1, 2008. If it is not convenient to come to Southworth with your returns, this book drop is meant to make it easier for the residents in the northern section of town.
Happy New Year 2008! Reach all your goals in the new year with the library as your personal trainer.
