Summer Reading Programs

Starting June 1, bring your kids and teens in to sign up for the Summer Reading programs.  Kids age pre-school through going into 5th grade can join "Make a Splash at Your Library," where they'll keep a reading log and earn a book!  Teens going into 6th grade through 12th grade can join "Sink Into A Book," where they'll bring in books they've read to earn points and enter drawings for prizes.  Stop by the library to sign up or ask questions about either program!
