This summer it's  FREE READ for both elementary and middle school students in Darien.  Here's what you need to know:

For Darien Elementary students (Hindley, Holmes, Ox Ridge, Royle, Tokeneke) :

The schools do not have any required reading lists; children can choose any "just right" books they like. 

They might have created a list with their classroom teacher or school librarian. 

The children's librarians can assist you in finding those books as well as recommending others.  

For Middlesex students:

Read 3 books of your choice.  Each book should be a different genre.  (For example, science fiction, mystery, realistic fiction, non-fiction.)  Click HERE for detailed information regarding the Middlesex requirements.

For incoming 6th graders: Pick at least one of your 3 books and write a review on the Darien Library website.

For incoming 7th and 8th graders: For each book, complete a book form (available here.)

For Advanced English students: In addition to your 3 free choice books, also read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, for a total of 4 books.  Complete a book form for all 4 books.
