Stella has been busy learning and growing at Avon Elementary, and this summer is the perfect time to keep those reading adventures going!
The Highlands County Libraries are hosting their 2026 Youth Summer Reading Program, "Reading is Rawr-some!" for children and teens ages 0β18. Families can register at any branch, set reading goals, earn prizes, receive free books, and be entered for grand prize drawings throughout the summer.
Even more exciting, each library branch is offering fun dinosaur-themed activities, crafts, sensory experiences, parties, and visits with therapy dogs all summer long!
