Summer Library Program

Teens

Our Summer Library Program is finally here, and we are venturing to Wonderland! Be curious, and explore the Library at this year’s program, Adventure Begins at Your Library, which begins June 3 and ends July 27

Participate to Win!

Read books, attend any of our programs, and create wondrous crafts to earn tickets towards prizes. Read ten items and earn a $10 gift card to Walmart! The ten items can include books, audiobooks, eBooks, graphic novels, comics, and more. Enter your titles into the participation guide and show a staff member a complete list to collect your gift card.

Each item read also earns you a ticket for the midpoint and grand prize drawings. Read more than ten items? We’ll provide you with a form to fill out for additional prize entry tickets. Attending programs or turning in completed activity sheets also earn you tickets!
