We had a great time at the Crete Park District's Park-a-Palooza event last week! ☀️📚

More than 200 people stopped by our booth to pick up Summer Reading-themed keychains, buttons, and pins. We loved connecting with the community and sharing all the fun happening at the Library this summer!

Thank you to the Crete Park District for having us! 😊📖
