Another successful summer reading program at Cheshire Library has come to an end. Over 800 children participated this year, and on Monday Aug 19, 100+ readers arrived at Cheshire Library to celebrate reaching their summer reading goals! Guests snacked on Subway sandwiches, then special guest “Mr. Magic” (aka Rick Rothstein) entertained the crowd. A magical time was had by all – great job, summer readers!
Another summer session of Teens Read to Tots has come to an end. Cheshire Library has been running this popular summer program for many years. The program pairs “tots” ages 3-5 with “teens” ages 12-17 for stories and crafts. It’s hard to say who has more fun, the younger kids or the older ones, and some wonderful bonds form over the 6-week program. 
It’s a labor of love!
