It's time to Read, Renew, Repeat!
This year’s Summer Reading Program is all about conservation! The library has planned activities and events this summer that will help us to explore the natural world, introduce concepts of sustainability, and remind us to take care of ourselves as well as our environment.
The Summer Reading Program begins on June 11 with our Opening Party, and ends on July 27.
Along with all of the fun activities we have planned, you can also sign your child up to win small prizes throughout the summer by keeping track of their reading progress. Participants who turn in at least one Reading Log during the program will be entered to win a larger prize at the end of the program.
