Burlington Library Launches Summer Reading Season With Three Wednesday Events
BURLINGTON — The first full week of summer arrives with the town's library launching its reading season in force Wednesday, Burlington Public Schools marking its last day of school June 24, and a commercial lab development project at 10 Corporate Drive drawing fresh questions.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
The Burlington Public Library is kicking off summer with a packed Wednesday lineup on June 24. Families can attend a Family Story & Craft session at the library, while the Summer Reading Kickoff Carnival for All Ages brings a festive community celebration to mark the season's start. Teens get their own send-off with a Teen Summer Reading Kickoff Featuring Candy Bar Bingo — a low-key but well-loved annual tradition. All three programs are scheduled for Wednesday, June 24; residents should check the library calendar for specific times.
