Every Wednesday at 10 AM from July 7th through August 11th the library will be hosting a slew of different presenters free of charge for all those attending. Additionally, children can work towards a variety of different prizes by logging the number of minutes they read each week!

While our designated age range is specified as grades K-6, both younger and older siblings are more than welcome to sign up and attend the programs as well as complete reading logs to work towards prizes.

Our theme this summer is “Tails and Tales” and thus some weeks will feature animal puppet friends or even live animals! Be sure to sign up, mark your calendars, and get ready for Summer Reading 2021!

We’ll see you at the library!
