Beals Memorial Library Summer Reading Club 2026
The Beals Memorial Library’s Summer Reading Club is an annual summer-long series
(June 22-August 14) of programs that encourage everyone from infants to adults to read or be read to. Explore the fun events, activities, stories, and reading challenges we have waiting for you. Everything is FREE and OPEN to everyone in the community!
This Year's Theme: Plant a Seed, Read.
All of our programs and activities are about planting and growing. Just like a farm grows food to nourish the body, libraries grow ideas to nourish the mind.
Thank You To Our Partners:
The Summer Reading Club’s programs and events are in partnership with the Friends of the Beals Library, the Winchendon CFCE, the Winchendon Cultural Council, and the Winchendon Public Schools.
