At the Rowayton Library

The Rowayton Library is running a special Peanut Butter & Jelly Food Drive in support of the Christian Community Action Food Center Food Pantry in Norwalk for the month of August. The goal for the month of August: collect 500 jars of peanut butter & jelly. The Christian Community Action Food Center Food Pantry has taken on the task of giving extra food to families with kids who get school meals during the winter and really struggle during the summer. Peanut butter and jelly are two of the items of which they are running desparately low. Please – as a community, let's make a difference in the fight against hunger: bring a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly to the Rowayton Library. Let's help our neighbors.
Summer Workshops at the Rowayton Library: Mondays @ 2 p.m. Origami; Wednesdays @ 2 p.m. Beading; Thursdays @ 3:30 p.m. Knitting. StoryTime is every weekday @ 10:30 a.m. during the summer. Join us!

And, don’t forget Tuesday Iced Tea at 2 p.m. Enjoy a cool spot in Rowayton at the Rowayton Library.

The last session for children ages 6-9 to be an Eco-Detective will be held on Tuesday August 3rd. And, the BookTalk book is none other than Dr. Seuss’ “The Lorax.” This program begins at 5 p.m. and has been made possible - in part - through a grant from the Connecticut Humanities Council. And with it comes Pizza - Pizza – Pizza! A courtesy reservation please.

The Summer Reading Program has just been enhanced to include prizes from the New York Knicks Read to Achieve @powertolearn.com presented by Kia Motors. All Summer Reading Program participants who have read 25 books or more can receive a Read to Achieve T-Shirt courtesy of the New York Knicks. All shirts are “size-large”. You can pick your prize up at the Rowayton Library during regular library hours. Just bring your “Starred Notebook” with 25 or more stars and collect your shirt (while supplies last).

Remember, make reading time part of your summertime fun… READ READ READ!

The Rowayton Library has a complete collection of the Norwalk Public Schools reading list books available. Come in do a little summer reading browsing – kindergarten through high school.
