“We’re excited to host another summer of programs, activities and special guests that inspire a love of reading in kids of all ages,” says Katelyn Granger, Manager of Youth Services at Hamilton Public Library. “The TD Summer Reading Club is also a great opportunity for kids to develop a relationship with their local library so they and future generations can benefit from their services throughout their lives.”
The TD Summer Reading Club is a free program delivered by over 2,000 public libraries across Canada. Generously sponsored by TD Bank Group, it celebrates Canadian authors, illustrators and stories, and is designed to inspire a love of reading among children.
