Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's Summer Reading Program! We hope you enjoyed a summer full of fun and learning. If you haven't turned in your reading record yet, please bring it in! We've already drawn our raffle prize winners, but kids and teens get a special goody bag when they hand in their reading record through Saturday, September 3. Youth who participated online can also stop in to get their goody bags!

September is Library Card Sign-Up Month! If you register for a library card for the first time during the month of September, we'll give you a welcome gift. Spread the word to your family and friends! Signing up for a library card is easy -- adults and teens 16+ need to bring their photo ID and proof of current address. Youth under 16 need to bring their parent/guardian in order to sign up.

We're seeking donations for our Free Halloween Costume Giveaway on Saturday, October 15.
