Summer Reading Program 2010 – Go Green at the Dartmouth Public Libraries
Summer Reading 2010 has come and gone. 308 children participated in the Green Beanstalks and Little Sprouts Reading Clubs. All that is left for now is a rescheduled Animal World Program which will be held on Tuesday August 31st from 1 to 3 pm at the North Dartmouth Library.
Read all the details about the program here: Library Links Newsletter Summer 2010. Originally most of the Summer Reading activities were to be held at Southworth Library although craft programs were to be held at both Southworth and North Dartmouth Library. As it turned out, most crafts and performances were held exclusively at North Dartmouth Library because of the broken air conditioner at the Southworth Branch. Since the theme was “Go Green”, we encouraged everyone to log their minutes online instead of using paper. Click here to see where you registered and entered your minutes.
