2013 Dig into Reading

The 2013 Summer Reading theme was Dig into Reading! At the Chester County Library the youth services department chose to focus on the underground. We decided to focus the Infomaniacs program on things that could be found underground and the people who may have put them underground... or who found them! This was the schedule for the summer.

Week 1: I Dig Buried Treasure!
Week 2: I Dig Gardening!
Week 3: I Dig Rocks and Minerals!
Week 4: I Dig Underground Animals!
Week 5: I Dig Dinosaurs!
Week 6: I Dig Mummies!
