Deptford Mall Invites Families to Join Them for FREE, FUN-FILLED Discovery Days in June, July and August!
The Deptford Mall and the Deptford Free Public Library have teamed up to create a fun summer reading program to promote literacy and learning for preschool through middle school aged children.
Deptford Free Public Library promotes recreational reading through its Summer Reading Program to help children maintain the skills developed during the school year. Parents can visit the library or call 856-848-9149 to register their children and get more information about the weekly story times and Friday Fun Days starting on June 27.
To enhance the program, Deptford Mall will be hosting Discovery Days in June, July and August, giving kids the opportunity to learn in a fun, interactive setting while getting recognized for their reading efforts.
Each event will include live entertainment, activity stations, fun games, cool giveaways and photo opportunities. Children are encouraged to read and get rewarded.

Reading logs will be available at each event if a parent is unable to register at the library.
On Saturday, June 18, the mall will kick off the program with a live interactive stage show called "Reading Rocks" which will include magic, comedy and showcase both classic and today's popular children's literature. The mall will award the first 100 families who register their children at this event with a two-pack of tickets to the Crayola Experience located in Easton, Pennsylvania.
