Summer Library Program

Kids

School’s out, and it’s time for the Summer Library Program! We want to help students avoid the “summer reading slump” and help little ones get excited about reading, all while having lots of fun! This year’s program, Adventure Begins at your Library, begins June 3 and ends July 27.

The Summer Library Program isn’t just for kids and teens; adults can participate, too! Learn how here.
