This summer we will be having a different kind of Summer Reading Program. We're currently not allowed to gather in very large groups together, and it probably won't be a very good idea to do so for a while, so we're not going to have performances in the park or at the Community Events Center. Instead, we're going to have a weekly kit that you can pickup outside of the library any time. The kits will relate to our theme of "Imagine Your Story" which is all about fairy tales, folklore, fantasy, and more. Basically all of the great books you can think of! Each kit will have activities for early learners, kids, teens, adults, and families. Everything in the kit is yours to keep.

We have some other surprises planned too, ways to get you and your family out of the house and explore our little community and have some fun times together. We're going to kick things off with a Story Stroll through Courthouse Square Park. We'll post the starting point and some pictures on the Story Stroll tab when it is all set up. 

The goal of the program is to make reading a part of your routine, so this year we're going to track how many days each week you read. Forgot to read on Tuesday? That's OK! Just make sure you read, tell a story, listen to a story, make up a story or do something else reading related on Wednesday. We're all about celebrating achievements this summer, not worrying about missteps. :) Read 35 days total during the program and you'll be entered to win a prize.

We're kicking off Summer Reading by giving a book to every child that wants one! The date and location will be announced soon .

Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm as we begin this new journey this summer. We're working hard to make it fun and engaging for you, and I hope you like what we've come up with.
