Whether you’re a seasoned challenger or a first-time reader, there’s plenty of fun for people of all ages in this year’s ultimate page-turning season.
Registration is now open for The Westport Library’s summer learning camps: Camp Explore and Summer Learning Clubs. Camp Explore returns for its sixth year of free STEAM exploration, with workshops kicking off June 24 and running into early August. Summer Learning Clubs integrate math, literacy, and STEAM activities into a thematic approach, with each class blending inquiry, design, research, writing, and the arts.
