We’re proud to present our 8th annual Summer Reading Program, kicking off on June 7 and running through September 6.
This program is open to all children ages 0 – 18 who are eager to explore new worlds and discover the magic of reading. To participate, register your child(ren) online and visit our Library to select five (or more) books on their age and reading level, then start reading. We’ll provide your child(ren) with a bookmark to keep track of your progress, and when they complete the program, turn in each bookmark to us and receive a prize to celebrate their reading achievement!
Kick off the Summer Reading Program with us on Friday, June 7 at our Library. Stop by any time between 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. Pick up your books, a bookmark and a FREE tasty Kona Ice treat!
We’re proud to partner with PJ Library. Thank you to T. Rowe Price for their ongoing support of our Summer Reading Program.
