Summer Reading Programs - Children

Each library also participates in the Summer Reading Program, a series of special events and activities during the months of June and July.

Young readers participate in different physical activities, attend programs by professional entertainers, and win really great prizes for reading books.

For fun and learning, make the Library your home-away-from-home!
