Dunbar Hill Elementary School

Hamden Public Schools partners with the Hamden Public Library system to present the Summer Reading program "A Universe of Stories."

Students of all ages are encouraged to sign up to read and win prizes. But even if you don't participate in the HPL/HPS Summer Reading program, you can have fun reading the rest of the summer, and every day. There THOUSANDS of great books at the Hamden libraries and ones just right for you and your family. Mysteries, joke books, cookbooks, gaming books, thrillers -- you name it!

For book ideas from our Media Specialists and the HPL brochures, follow this link.

It's never too early to look for deals on school supplies this summer. Here is our list broken down by grade level.

A new before and after school program will be starting next school year through Right At School. For information, see their website at https://rightatschool.com/before-and-after-school-programs/. For the pricing brochure, see this flier.
