SUMMARY:Living the Otter Life with Katherine Applegate (3rd-6th Grade)
DESCRIPTION:This online event will be 30 minutes in length. Register here: https://libraryc.org/whitinglibrary/77774/register \nJoin us as award-winning author and summer reading champion Katherine Applegate talks to viewers about her enthusiastically heartwarming novel in verse\, Odder.  \nEveryone wants to meet Odder\, the Queen of Play. Odder spends her days off the coast of central California\, practicing her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky stories for which she’s known. She’s a fearless daredevil\, curious to a fault. But when Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great white shark\, her life takes a dramatic turn\, one that will challenge everything she believes about herself―and about the humans who hope to save her. \nKatherine Applegate’s Odder\, is inspired by the true story of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogate mothers. This poignant and humorous tale told in free verse examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of nature’s most beloved and charming animals. \nAbout the Author: Katherine Applegate is the Newbery Medal-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of numerous books for young readers\, including The One and Only Ivan\, Wishtree\, Crenshaw\, the Endling series\, the Roscoe Riley Rules chapter books series\, and the Animorphs series.  She lives with her husband\, who writes as the author Michael Grant\, and their children in California.

SUMMARY:Summer Unplugged - Bears!
DESCRIPTION:One of New England’s largest waddlers is the American black bear. Although often feared\, these sizable mammals are intelligent\, sneaky\, and beautiful. How can we share our habitats safely with these two hundred pound omnivores? Come activate your inner bear as we learn about the life of black bears\, explore black bear biofacts\, snuggle up for a story reading\, and engage in the black bear experience! \nThe Nature Museum aims to engage and educate in order to spark a lifelong connection and responsibility to the natural world. Our vision is that we help all people be inspired to explore the wonder\, science\, and beauty of the natural world and to protect the regional and global ecology. \nThanks to the generous support from Great River Hydro\, The Nature Museum is excited to once again bring free environmental education programming to public libraries throughout the Middle Connecticut River Valley and at the Bellows Falls Fish Ladder and Visitor Center during the summer of 2025. \nThese programs aim to be engaging and highlight topics related to the unique ecology and landscape of Northern New England. These programs are geared towards youth ages Pre-K through elementary grades\, but all are welcome! Programs will be approximately 45 minutes long with dedicated time for a story reading and any nature related questions you may have for our expert educators. Library programs will be both outdoors whenever possible and indoors as needed depending on weather and location. Join us to unplug\, discover\, and learn!

SUMMARY:Summer Reading Challenge Kick Off Party with author Carrie Kruck
DESCRIPTION:Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge!\nJoin Whiting Library for a summer filled with reading\, creativity\, and discovery! Our Summer Reading Challenge encourages kids simply to read every day—no sign-up\, timers\, or reading logs required. Just stop by the Youth Room\, pick up a summer reading challenge sheet (or not!)\, and take part in fun activities that keep learning going all summer long. \nOur special guest of honor will be New Hampshire author Carrie Kruck\, who will read from one of her picture books. All youth who attend can select two new books from various options! A Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF) grant makes the book giveaway and author presentation possible. \nDid you know that summer break can lead to the “summer slide\,” where kids lose academic progress? Our Summer Reading Challenge is the perfect way to keep young minds sharp! Regular reading helps reinforce literacy skills\, prevent learning loss\, and spark new achievements—all while having fun. \n📚 How It Works \n🎁 Every kid who visits the library on Saturday\, June 28\, from 10:30AM – 11:30AM will receive 2 free books! \n\nJust tell a staff member that who would like to participate in the Summer Reading Challenge.\nRead every day from June 28th to August 2nd.\nAttend fun events throughout the summer at the library. \n🧱 The Nature Museum programs\, Story hour & playgroups held weekly \n🎨 Try the artist scavenger hunt at the library. Color your world with fun art projects at the library this summer. \n\n\n📚 Kids read and report back to the library for a weekly pick from the prize basket or bookshelf!🍦 Celebrate All Summer Readers at our Ice Cream Social – Saturday\, Aug 2 at 11:30AM!\nLibrary cards for Whiting Library are free to all residents of the towns of Chester and Andover\, Vermont.
