Summer reading is not just for kids! Readers of all ages will be reading and dreaming this summer as the Chattooga County Library System begin our summer reading programs.   Activities are planned for the entire family – preschool through adult, with programs, prize drawings, story hours, special reading activities and more.

Children will make personal, meaningful connections with books when they are provided with opportunities to read, touch, create, and experiment at the library during school break.  The concept of night and all its wonders has inspired this year’s  theme, “Dream Big – READ!"

The theme for teens is “Own the Night” with programming designed just for them that includes mystery, crafts, music and fun.  Adults have their own programs as well where they can read for fun and prizes “Between the Covers”.

The goal of the Summer Reading Program is to encourage everyone to read for pleasure.

Programming is supported in part by the Institute for Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the Georgia Public Library Service.   Local funding is provided through the Friends of the Library, Chattooga County Literacy Council, Georgia Humanities Council, the Chattooga County Optimists, Rome Braves, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Wendy's, Dominos, Taco Bell, and Burger King.

All programs are free of charge.
