The Morrin Center Summer Reading Program is back again for its 18th year this summer! In partnership with the TD Summer Reading Club, Book Quest invites children between the ages of 3 and 12 to participate in its story time and crafts activities as well as its STEM challenges. The theme this year is “Once Upon a Time; Myths and Legends”. The theme touches on creating activities that contribute to participants' growth by inspiring them to create and develop their own stories. Stories and activities would include folk and fairy tales as well as old and new contemporary stories that highlight valuable lessons and entertain as well.

As always, Book Quest will be separated into two age categories.

• Children from 3 to 7 years of age will be entertained with a story, a short activity, and a related craft.
• Our older age group (children 8-12) will receive a weekly S.T.E.M. challenge—a guided science experiment or engineering task worthy of even the maddest of scientists and reading suggestions.

In order to facilitate this activity for those living on the south shore, South Shore English Network will be managing the distribution of activity bags for families on the south shore.  From June 27th to June 30th, please make a quick stop at the SSEN office to collect a FUN-PACKED ACTIVITY BAG containing all the necessary materials (and a few extra surprises) for children to participate in Book Quest activities from the safety of their own homes.

We are all very excited for this year's Book Quest and hope to see you there!

All Book Quest activities are free of charge and will be held online via Zoom.
