Summer Reading Club 2017

The Haltom City Library's annual Summer Reading Program, sponsored by the Friends of the Haltom City Public Library, is in full swing! The library will be hoppin’ with lots of activities. 

First start your vacation off and register for the Summer Reading Club. Pick up your reading logs and keep track of the time as you read. It’s easy. Remember...kids who read over the summer months maintain their skills and are better prepared to start school in the fall.
