In preparation for our summer reading program, the librarians from FPL Main & Woods Branch will embark on a Summer Reading Roadshow. The librarians will be visiting each of Fairfield Public School District's 11 elementary schools to get students excited about On Your Mark, Get Set ... READ! We will share all the ways more reading equals more chances to win in our raffles, as well as the special programs we will offer during the summer. We are looking forward to seeing all our Fairfield families at our Kickoff Party on June 20th.
