Happy Independence Day! We hope you got some reading in during the long weekend. Remember, listening to audiobooks counts as reading! Audiobooks are a great way to get some reading done as a family during a road trip.
Over 1200 children from birth to 8th grade have joined us this year in Reading Beyond the Beaten Path! So far 129 kids have finished the program and lots more have earned their first and second prizes. We are SO EXCITED about all of the reading we see going on in our community!
Haven’t signed up for Summer Reading yet? There’s still time–the program runs until August 1st! Children in Pre-K to 8th grade can read to earn small prizes, and when they complete the program they will receive a free t-shirt and a paperback book of their choice. Babies and toddlers will earn small prizes, and will receive a board book upon completing the program. T-shirts are not available for children under 3 years old. Sign up online or in person.
The Library will be closed on Monday, July 4th, in observation of Independence Day. We hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday!
Registration is now open for July programs!
