Get Creative at the Library!

Summer Reading is going on now. Stop by your local library and pick up your reading log to keep track of your reading time and to earn great prizes.

And don’t forget – CADL has a ton of great programs to keep your creative skills sharp over the summer. Below are just a few of the programs in June for Teens at the library. For a complete list summer events, visit http://www.cadl.org/news/summer09.html.

Graphic Novel Workshop
