Summer reading is a hot activity!

We are fast approaching the dog days of summer and Fairfielders are reading up a storm! Over 909 children signed up for the Summer Reading Game!  Come in and sign up, read away and earn a ticket to a great mime show in August. Teen programs are popular!  Pleasure reading is so popular our teen librarian is busily shelving books daily. Our librarians applied temporary tatooes when the teen reading total reached 25,000. 

 

Nearly 50,000 pages have been read! We bought 50 copies of the new Harry Potter book in advance and we have over 50 holds! Hint - we may have a few more copies shortly!   Multiple copies of adult books are flying off the shelves.  Library volunteers Mary Jo Cornell and Judy Fox have delivered fun reads to Penfield Pavilion and the Fairfield train station. Volunteer Dorothy Cheney will be delivering books to Lake Mohegan this week. Thanks to the Friends of the Library these books are available on brand new shiny blue spinners. Grab a book, read it, and return it or replace it with something you liked!

Summer is a busy time for Fairfield librarians too! We are helping you to make your library experience the best it can be and we are planning wonderful programs and services for you for the fall season. The next Newsletter will be published in August and a new program calendar outlining adult and teen programs will be available in September. Look for the new Children’s program calendar in September too! Please share your ideas and opinions by making a comment using this blog. It is easy and helps us to make the library even better for you!
