Reports are coming in that dinosaurs are rapidly populating Chester and Andover! Fortunately, these friendly prehistoric creatures have been finding loving homes with local readers through Whiting Library’s Summer Reading Challenge: Unearth A Story!

This week, children have been stopping by after school to adopt their very own Dino Reading Buddy, and the dinosaur population is growing every day!

There’s still plenty of time to join the adventure. Stop by Whiting Library anytime to:
📚 Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge
🦕 Adopt a Dino Reading Buddy
💳 Get your FREE library card (available to Chester and Andover residents)
📖 Borrow books, games, puzzles, and more for summer fun

This summer, your Dino Reading Buddy isn’t just for reading to everyday, it’s your adventure companion! Take your dinosaur to the town pool, to the library, on family vacations, to the playground, on hikes, camping trips, and wherever your summer adventures lead. Our dinos are ready to explore the world alongside their readers!

📸 We invite families to share photos of their children reading to their dinosaurs and taking them on summer adventures. We can’t wait to see where our Dino Reading Buddies travel and what stories they discover along the way!

Special events, activities, scavenger hunts, and dinosaur adventures will be happening all summer long from June 27 through August 1. Visit the library regularly, you never know what surprises might hatch next!
