Summer Reading
Once Upon A Summer
Once Upon A Summer, people across Norfolk County read books to win prizes in the Summer Reading Challenge and enjoyed hands-on activities in the Summer Reading Program. Everyone agreed that it was a FANTASTIC summer at the Norfolk County Public Library!
The Challenge:
- Read books to win prizes!
- Four prize levels to keep you motivated!
- By tracking minutes read, everyone can join in, no matter their age or reading speed and ability!
The Program:
- Beyond the books, the summer is full of hands-on programs at each of our Branches! Plus, we’ll be in the community hosting events for even more fun!
