One World, Many Stories
(June 25-August 13)
Children of all ages will travel the globe this summer as Onondaga Free Library
presents this year’s summer reading program, One World, Many Stories.
Children can keep track of the number of books they’ve read (or the number of books
they’ve had read to them) and get weekly incentives. Children who are reading on
their own can also fill out a raffle ticket for each book they’ve read to take a chance
at winning some great prizes.

One World, Many Stories and, in recognition of that theme, I’ll be touring New York and
