Librarian's Corner


We’re speeding into summer and that can only mean one thing: it’s time for Summer Reading 2026! This year’s theme created itself, as we join in the patriotic celebration of America’s 250th birthday and invite you to celebrate Stars, Stripes & Stories!

Summer Reading begins at our Kick Off on July 1st. Drop in between 5:30 and 7:30 to get your Summer Reading registration packs. Go on a scavenger hunt in our childrens’s department, make some crafts, play games, and cool down with some ice cream. Our special guests from the Harwinton Historical Society will be bringing colonial toys and artifacts – see how children worked and played in 1776!

Our Summer Reading calendar is full of programs, crafts, special guests and performers to keep you busy all summer long. From our tiniest tots to our tweens and teens we’ve got hands-on fun and learning to fill your summer days. Stop in, chill out, and grab a book to enjoy. Make visiting the Library part of your summer plans!
