Summer Reading!
The library may be closed, but SPL's YA Summer Reading program is going full steam ahead!  Submit your brief reviews of books you've read here to get entered into a weekly raffle to win fabulous prizes!  Or check out the reviews other teens have written here!  And finally, see how well you know your library's virtual services by taking part in our digital scavenger hunt. Search for clues across the library's website and social media pages to locate riddles, with the answer to each riddle leading to the next clue. Submit all the correct answers here to get one more entry into the weekly raffle.  This year's Summer Reading program runs from June 29th to August 21st.

About the SPLAT Volunteer Team


SPLAT, which stands for the Shrewsbury Public Library Advisory Team, is the most fun way in town to meet new people, learn and develop leadership skills, and earn volunteer hours. Through material selection, fundraising, event planning, and a variety of other tasks both recreational and educational, participants enrich their lives while having a blast! Currently, there are over 450 people who get the weekly events list, and meetings range from small groups of a few people to special occasions with standing room only. There is truly a place for everyone in SPLAT.
