Summer is right around the corner, and so is the Newmarket Public Library’s summer reading program, Dig Into Reading. Held in conjunction with Newmarket Elementary School, the program will allow readers from K through 6th grade to explore our underground theme, Dig Into Reading, with stories, music, crafts, and more. The program is every Tuesday morning at 10:30 from July 9th - July 30th. Registration begins May 1st. Stop by the library to register and pick up a flyer, or call 659-5311. Award winning British storyteller Simon Brooks will perform at the library on Thursday, July 11th @ 6:30pm.
