After a summer of incredible reading adventures, fun activities, and soaring imaginations, the Orangeville Public Library is excited to invite the community to the final TD Summer Reading Club event of the season. Celebrate a summer of reading with the exciting Touch-a-Truck event.

On Saturday, August 24, visit the Alder Street Recreation Centre’s rear parking lot between 2 and 4 p.m. to enjoy this fun, family event.

“This has been another incredible summer for the TD Summer Reading Club, and we have watched our community connect, discover, and soar through books and activities,” said Darla Fraser, Chief Executive Officer, Orangeville Public Library. “It’s a reminder that literacy, creativity, and fun thrive through our Public Libraries.”

Touch-a-Truck gives children the opportunity to explore a range of vehicles, including a police cruiser, fire truck, snowplow, a Zamboni, and more. There will even be an opportunity to paint a bus! First responders and Town staff will be on hand to answer questions about the vehicles and equipment that they use to keep everyone safe.

"Thank you to our community partner," said Fraser. “Touch-a-Truck is made possible with the support of Orangeville Fire, Dufferin OPP, Orangeville First Student, and the Town of Orangeville’s Public Works and Community Services departments.”

This event is open to everyone, and all activities are free of charge.

Were you a participant in the TD Summer Reading Club? At 3 p.m., the library’s summer students, Katie and Evelyn, will announce this summer’s prize winners and reveal the total minutes read by participants this year.
