Summer Reading Program Starts!

Preschool, School Age, Teens, Adults

Our annual fun-filled Summer Reading Program for all ages begins on Saturday, June 10th.

This year’s program – All Together Now – will run for seven weeks through July 29th and will celebrate the many wonderful ways that libraries and reading bring us together as a community.

Starting June 10th, children and teens can pick up a reading log to track their reading and earn prizes as they finish their books.

Adults can enter one prize drawing ticket for each book they read for a chance to win prizes in our weekly drawings.

There is something for everyone at the library this summer, from earning community service hours by becoming a Teen Volunteer, to winning fantastic prizes donated by our generous sponsors, to attending exciting weekly programs (including the return of the Stuffed Animal Sleepover!).

Check out our website or ask library staff for details.
