Our summer reading program starts tomorrow, June 1 and runs through June 30.

You may pick up the children’s bingo cards anytime, and they can begin reading and earning prizes! We’ve got lots of new books, and old ones for them to enjoy!

Sign up by commenting children’s names and ages below, or come into or call the library.

All you need is a current library card. If your family doesn’t yet have a card, stop in and apply for one. You’re not going to want to miss out on the fun, including so many new items that we’ve purchased for all ages!!

Come and celebrate our wonderful country!
