On this day in 1952, summer reading made the front page of the East Hampton News! A lot has changed over the past 70+ years, but one thing remains the same: summers are better with books from the library.

Have you heard about our brand new Summer Reading Bingo yet?
One of the things we’re most excited about is the flexibility of the new format. Summer Reading is no longer tied to specific weeks, so participants can move at their own pace all summer long. Going on vacation? Busy schedule? No problem! You can pick right back up where you left off.
We hope this new system makes participation simpler and more fun! No more keeping track of multiple things or filling out 20–30 tickets at once trying to catch up.
We hope you're as excited as we are!
