It's that time of year again when Dover reads its way into Spring! All are welcome to join us for the seventh annual "Dover Reads" kick-off celebration on Thursday, February 19th at the Children's Museum of New Hampshire from 4:30-5:30pm. There will be free admission to the museum for the celebration, face painting and materials to make your own bookmark!

"Dover Reads" is a citywide reading project, sponsored by the Dover School District Community Involvement Committee, which encourages everyone to read the same book to promote a sense of community and the joy of reading. This year, the committee has chosen books based on the life of Marley, the Grogan family's dog.

Titles to choose from are:

Marley & Me: life and love with the world's worst dog by John Grogan (adult)
Marley: a dog like no other by John Grogan(grades 3 & up)
Marley & Me: Meet Marley by Natalie Engle(grades 1 & 2)
Bad Dog, Marley! by John Grogan(Picture Book)

Special activities and events, such as the annual essay contest, the "Pennies for Pets" collection drive, a vacation week craft at the "Make-it, Take-it" craft table in the library's Children's Room, and the final celebration and awards ceremony, will be announced.
