Something BIG is stomping its way to Haddonfield Public Library

Dust off your boots and grab your field kit! This summer, your library is taking you on an epic dig through some of the greatest discoveries in history. Welcome to Unearth a Story, our summer reading program where every book is a new excavation and every page brings you closer to something extraordinary.

Journey back to the age of the dinosaurs, walk alongside ancient civilizations, and explore the powerful forces that have shaped our planet for billions of years. Palaeontology, archaeology, and geology have given us some of the most thrilling mysteries ever uncovered, and this summer, you get to be part of the adventure.

Whether you're 5 or 95, there's a story buried just beneath the surface waiting for you to find it. Set your reading goals, track your progress, earn rewards, and connect with fellow explorers right here in your community.

The dig starts June 22. What will you unearth?
