Summer reading programs at the Chattanooga Public Library will encourage children to “Dream Big,” teens to “Own the Night” and adults to see what’s “Between the Covers.”
The two youth programs kick off Saturday. Participants may register at the main library, 1001 Broad St., or branches at Eastgate, Northgate or South Chattanooga. Adults will be offered special programming throughout the summer but do not have to log the books they read.
For Children
Theme: Dream Big — Read.”
Age group: For newborns (who are read to) through rising fifth-graders.
How it works: At registration, which is open through July 14, children receive logbooks to track their summer reading. Any author and title is allowed. When the child has read or listened to 10 books, the logbook is to be returned to any library location by July 21. Children who meet their reading goals will earn a certificate and coupons for local attractions. They also may attend a finale on July 28 at First Tennessee Pavilion to enjoy activities, prize drawings and refreshments.
