Our Summer Reading Program is in full Bloom! 🌼🌸 We kicked off June with blooming and creating as the kids joined us yesterday morning to plant flowers in the library and Reading Park pots! They did a great job!🌷Then the kids stopped by the library all throughout the day to help make and create decorations to hang up for the summer programs! 🌿We’re looking forward to a summer of fun! Make sure you watch the calendar of events for kids!

Congratulations to Myles for completing his 600 book milestone on his 1000 Books Before Kindergarten journey. 🎉👏🏼
