The Summer Reading Club is designed to encourage young people to read over the summer holidays. When they register, participants receive a reading logbook in which they can keep track of their reading throughout the summer. During the months of June, July, and August, all public libraries in the province will present various fun and entertaining activities. The Summer Reading Club is intended for all young New Brunswickers.
To register visit the Hillsborough Public Library in person, contact us by phone at 506-734-3722, email us at [email protected] or contact us through Facebook. Children who do not know how to read yet can also participate by having a parent or caregiver read to them. Children can also register online by visiting the Summer Reading Club website at http://www.gnb.ca/summerreadingclub.
Follow us on Facebook or sign up for our online newsletter to receive up to date information about all the programs/activities that will happen throughout the summer! (activities will begin at the end of June)
