The summer weather is finally here. It is time to get outside, enjoy the sunshine, and explore the creative and fun new programs at the Whitchurch-Stouffville Public Library.
On July 1, look for the library’s booth at the Strawberry Festival where you can get information about summer programs, including the children’s Summer Reading Club (SRC).
Discover mysterious, bizarre, and intriguing stories with this year’s SRC theme: Check This Out. The SRC is a great way for kids to practice reading over the summer months and earn prizes.
New this year at the Strawberry Festival, the library will be hosting a super spelling bee. Held on July 1 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Memorial Park bandshell, children in two age categories will compete to determine the winner in this spelling showdown.
