Wow! What an incredible Summer Reading Kickoff! A huge thank-you to everyone who joined us today! We had an amazing time celebrating with all of you, and we're thrilled to share that this was one of the biggest Summer Reading Kickoff turnouts we've ever had! We had 123 kids (75 ages 0–6 and 48 ages 7–11), and 22 teens! Your excitement, smiles, and enthusiasm made the day extra special. We can't wait to spend the summer reading, learning, and having fun together.

Be sure to follow our social media pages so you don't miss any of the exciting events, activities, and adventures we have planned for kids and teens all summer long. The fun is just getting started!

Reminder: Come "Rock" out with us tomorrow! See you at 10:00 A.M.
