​

This summer, Faith in Action, Chelsea District Library and Dexter District Library will launch a new summer reading and learning initiative called the Summer Munch Bunch: Stories & Snack Packs @ Your Local Library. The program will provide mid-day snacks for kids through age 17. This delectable program begins the week of June 20and runs through the week of August 1.

Thanks to the generous support of Faith in Action, the Chelsea and Dexter District Libraries will feed hungry minds, imaginations, and tummies this summer by pairing nutritional snacks with delightful stories for our youth and teen library visitors throughout the summer.  Snacks will be offered at the Dexter District Library on Mondays and Thursdays from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, following the Drop-in Story Time and Craft program. The Chelsea District Library will offer afternoon snacks and casual stories on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2 until 3 pm.

Libraries have always been in the business of nourishing the minds and souls of our patrons. This summer, Chelsea and Dexter youth and teens will find another kind of sustenance at their public library in the form of a yummy snack. Join the Summer Munch Bunch and drop by your local library for a story and a snack.  All kids through age 17 are welcome.
