Summer Reading 2010
Go Green @ the library

Stop by the library to get reading logs, or keep track of your reading online.

Come to the Main Library or MacKay by June 19
for a registration gift from the Friends of the Library.

1st - Keep track of the time you spend reading. You may use a paper reading log or do it online.
If you need suggestions for books to read, we have ELEMENTARY SCHOOL READING LISTS.

2nd - Report to us when you finish a log (900 minutes=15 hours!). If we collect 300 logs this summer, the Friends of the Library will donate money for a bench along the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail in Chelmsford.

3rd - Come to the library often for special programs.
June | July | August calendars for the Children's Department of the Main Library

This is a Printable Passbook that highlights Chelmsford's Open Spaces: Outside & Inside.

Chelmsford has beautiful open spaces with well marked trails.
www.minitreks.info provides satelite views of the parks. Most trails are shown with information about distances. Parking spots are labeled when available. (After hiking these trails, you may want to volunteer to help keep them cleared. Chelmsford's Open Space Stewardship needs your help.)

Some families like to turn hikes into treasure hunts. Geochaching and Letterboxing are great activities for all ages. The Children's Department of the Main Library has 3 Geomate Jr kits to lend.

Let's leave no child inside....
