Summer Reading 2023!

Norton Public Library presents six weeks of summer fun
​for ages 0-18! 
​Wednesday, July 5 - Thursday, August 17

To Find Your Voice, we encourage you to:

  • ​Read in new ways - outdoors, upside down, outside your usual genre, out loud with friends, as an audiobook!
  • Read new things - novels in verse, nonfiction, graphic novels, digital magazines - all reading is real reading!
  • Read adventurously - We suggest books about creative expression, personal identity, and standing up for your beliefs, but feel absolutely free to read anything that gets your mind going, your heart racing, and your pages turning!​

How to Participate

Starting July 5, you can register: We also have tons of fun programs planned, so check our event listings or print your own copy of the July calendar to see what's coming up!
