TD Summer Reading Club Kick Off

Keep the kids reading all summer long in this fun, free reading club!  

Read (or be read to) at home or in the library and then talk to us about what you've been reading.  Participate at any branch except Thornhill Community Centre (currently under renovation).  Visit your branch for details. Join us for fun games and activities as we kick off the TD Summer Reading Club.  Pick up your reading package and get a head start!
