It’s Sponsor Saturday! Over the next seven weeks, we want to showcase our generous Platinum- and Gold-Level Sponsors who are helping to make this year’s summer concerts happen.

To kick things off, a huge thank you to the generous Anonymous Music Lover who is a Platinum-level sponsor and who is helping to fund our 2026 Summer Concert Series! All of the Concerts at the Rocks and Concerts on Market Street are funded through community support and donations, and we are so grateful for their generosity.

We have some incredible performances lined up for this year’s concert series! Our next concert is Tuesday, June 13rd at 10am. Elmore Lawson will be helping us enjoy movement and music with a variety of percussive instruments!

Check out the full lineup and list of sponsors on our website:

The elementary school's have read a combined book total of 881 books of their 10,000 goal. Eagle Point Elementary School is at 181, Windsor Elementary School is at 304 and Elementary School is at 396.

Our 4th to 12th grade readers logged 568 books, half way to their first 1,000 book goal - a prize drawing for a winner to have pizza party at the library.

The adults have logged 356 books towards their goal of 3,000 to have Back2Back join us during our end celebration.

Keep up the amazing reading!
