Welcome to the Stratford Library Children’s Department.
What our readers have to say!
Summer Reading is underway and here are some thoughts from our summer readers!
“Elephant was so funny.” (Can you guess the book?)
“Got so much more to read!” (Us, too!)
“I wish I could get a kitten, but my mom is allergic.” (We’re so sorry! Did you know some libraries have live-in cats? (Don’t worry, mom, not the Stratford Library))
“I think I’m doing good at summer reading” (You sure are!)
“I learned that lobsters have two different kinds of claws. One is called a crusher claw and the other is called a scissor claw” (We did NOT know that!)
“A baby panda is the size of a jelly bean” (Facts are so fascinating, aren’t they?)
Keep reading, and sharing your facts with us – you make summer stupendous – log more books from our summer reading page.

Stratford Library School Visits
Throughout the month of May, the Children’s Department librarians are visiting every K-5 classroom in the Town of Stratford. For Kindergarten and First grade we read a book and then discuss our Summer Reading Program which begins on June 1st. Grades 2-5 we are book talking our favorite books which include different genres and share the books by flipping through the pages. Grades 2-5 are given a bookmark with the list of books from our school visits. The Summer Events Flyer will be coming to your school shortly. Promoting reading in our community will create life-long readers.
