NORWAY — There are two parts to our summer reading program:
Children through age 12 may sign up for the reading portion in the Children’s Room. For registration they will get a book bag, a collectible badge, a lanyard for collecting reading badges, and a voucher for a ticket to a Portland Sea Dogs baseball game!
This year’s summer reading goal for all participants is to read at least 20 minutes a day. Track those 20 minutes on the reading record that you will pick up when you register. Check in at the library on a weekly basis, and bring your reading record. Earn a badge to add to
your lanyard and select a free book for each week completed.
Family programming is geared for children ages 6-12 years, but all are welcome.
In-person programs will be held outside on the front lawn at the library and are weather dependent.
Virtual programs are online and will be held rain or shine.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
