Teens: Sign up for summer reading right here!

Kids: Sign up for summer reading right here!

This year’s Summer Reading Program features something for everyone! Starting June 1, stop by the library to sign up and get a reading log. Read for 20 minutes, do an activity, or attend a library program to fill up your log. When you’re finished, bring it back to the library and we’ll give you a free book plus a raffle ticket for one of our many prize baskets!

For each completed reading log we’ll also add one block to the towers in the entryway. This year, kids and babies will be competing against teens and adults to see who can build the tallest tower. Who will win by reading the most – the younger or the older generation?
