All Together Now
Our annual Summer Reading Program is almost here and it's time to get groovy! This year's theme is "All Together Now", and we can't wait to explore kindness, friendship, and unity with all you cool cats. We have a lot of great events and prizes planned for kids, teens, and adults! Registration for all ages begins on June 10th. Be sure to join us during Summerfest for a kick-off collaborative art piece, book sale, and pick up your reading logs - it's for sure going to be a vibe!
