Summer Reading

Get ready for Summer Reading Club!

Starting June 29, kids ages 0 - 12 can visit the Library to pick up a summer reading notebook.

Come back each week to get a special giveaway and enter prize draws!

Here’s how the Summer Reading Club works:

  1. Sign up online or in the Library.
  2. Read: books, audiobooks, eBooks, and graphic novels all count!
  3. Report each title you finish using the online form (available June 29) or stop by the Library’s Summer Reading desk to fill out a paper ballot or tell staff.
