Summer Learning Program 2026
Get ready to enjoy a summer filled with
reading, crafts, prizes, and new discoveries!
This year’s theme for Summer Learning Program is “Unearth a Story.” 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 few special performers visiting this 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!
