Summer Reading Challenge
A farm grows food that nourishes our bodies; a library grows ideas that nourish our minds. Both food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy, and ecology. Plant a Seed, Read this summer at the Roselle Public Library, your community table where, instead of food, we feast on ideas.
KIDS, BIRTH-GRADE 5: Plant a Seed, Read! and earn prizes when you join the summer reading program. Sign up at the Library or online, get your log, then complete activities and read at home, or on the go.
