Our first is for children up to age 12. Come into the library to sign up and get a free goody bag and reading log. For every 20 minutes of reading, color in a circle on the log until you reach each of the three goals. When you reach a goal, come into the library and get a prize! While you’re here, check out our rock ‘n roll photobooth and get your picture taken!
We also have brand new programs for teens aged 13-18 and for adults 18+. Come in for a summer reading Bingo card to fill out. For each row you complete, you get entered into a raffle! If you complete the entire card by August 27th, you get a prize!
