'Book It' Over To West Hartford Library's Annual Children's Fun Run

The annual event will take place on Saturday, June 28, with three separate races planned that morning.

WEST HARTFORD, CT — With school out for summer, there's a good chance there's a lot of pent-up energy amongst West Hartford's youth population these days.

The West Hartford Public Library system, however, is hoping to turn that energy into a successful summer program this Saturday, June 28.

That's when children aged 2-12 are being asked to "Book It" for the library system's annual children's fun run.
