The Summer Reading Program is open to ALL ages: Birth to Adult! The program fosters the love of reading and helps build literacy skills. Incentive awards are provided for fun.

This year's 2021 theme provided by the Collaborative Summer Library Program is Tails & Tales. Starting in June, youth and adults will receive a Summer Reading Program packet filled with goodies (while supplies last) with a form or bookmark to track their reading. For adults, each time they checkout a book, they will receive a stamp on a bookmark. For every four stamps, they can be entered into a drawing to win a grand prize displayed in the lobby's glass cabinets. Youth will receive a form to track minutes and titles depending on their ages.

Register ONLINE (CLICK HERE) or in the library for the Summer Reading Program. If you register online, be sure to request a goodie bag and reading log when you next visit the library (NOTE: Goodie bags, Reading Logs, and prizes cannot be mailed and are available on a first come first serve basis).
