This summer, our summer reading theme, Our Town, aims to celebrate the Town of North Branford. We will be looking at the people, places, and stories that make this town great! Children will have the opportunity to participate in our Sunflower Passport Program, take part in hands-on programs and listen to stories about local heroes that make a difference in our community.

Sunflower Passport Program
How To Participate:
- Head to either location (Atwater or Smith) to sign up and receive your passport and set of sunflower clues.
- Use the clues to locate eight sunflowers hidden around town.
- Participants can stop in each time they find a sunflower to receive a stamp AND a paper building to construct OR they can wait till the very end to showcase all eight sunflowers and put their paper town together all at once.
- Once your passport is fully stamped, and your paper town is complete, you will receive a Summer Reading Certificate, a reward and your name will be entered into our raffle prize drawing!
- We would love to see your paper constructed towns, email photos to clemire@nbranfordlibraries.org to be featured on our social media page.
