Without the support of donors in the area, we would not be able to offer the amount of programming we do during the summer. Please support our donors.”
Summer Reading Program:
You don’t have to attend the programs to participate in Summer Reading. The library has reading logs that are available.
If you have reading assignments through the summer from school, you can count that reading on your reading log for the library as well and win prizes. Reading can be logged through July 25.
If you are using paper log sheets they are due by July 25.
The end of summer reading party will be the 27.
The read squared app is available for those who would like to track their reading on an app instead of paper. We have started random prize drawings on the read squared app.
We will also have daily online events with Page Turner Adventures through July 15.
The library has a lot to offer for Summer Reading, so make plans to join us!
