Get ready to enjoy a summer filled with reading, crafts, prizes, and new discoveries!

This year’s theme for Summer Reading Program is “All Together Now: Camp Kindness.”  The Library strives to offer fun, high quality programming each summer to keep children engaged in learning.  In addition to our weekly story times for children, we have a series of special performers visiting throughout the summer.  We also have programs for all ages at our branches.  We can’t wait for you to see all the fun activities we have planned!

The Summer Reading Program will run from June 12th-July 28th.
