Notes from Our Director: 

Summer is just around the corner, and we're gearing up for our annual Summer Reading Program! We have many exciting programs to attend and activities to complete, keeping kids and teens engaged and active all summer long. 

Over the summer, students risk losing some of the achievement gains they made during the previous school year. Participating in Summer Reading helps maintain reading skills and helps kids and teens stay motivated to learn. We also have an early literacy component of our program to engage babies, toddlers, and preschoolers and help get them ready to read. 

And Summer Reading isn't just for kids. We're offering programs that are fun for the whole family, as well as programs for adults. By participating in the Summer Reading Program, children, teens, and adults can also enter to win a number of great prizes! 

Summer fun at the library begins on Wednesday, June 26 from 3:00-6:00 p.m. when the library hosts our Summer Reading Kickoff Party. Come sign up for our Summer Reading Program and enjoy some free ice cream courtesy of Stewart's Shops! Can't make it to the party? Registration is open all summer long!

During our Summer Reading Kickoff Party, we'll also be holding a ribbon cutting for our newly-renovated Community Room! Join us at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday June 26 as we celebrate this wonderful improvement of our space. 

We hope you will join us for a summer full of fun and learning!
