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

This year’s theme for Summer Learning Program is “Adventure Begins at Your Library.”  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 Learning Program will run from June 17th-July 25th, with a break during the week of July 4th.
