🏖️ REMINDER 🏖️

Congratulations on another excellent Summer Reading season! We are so proud of how much you've grown, the challenges you've set for yourself, and the determination with which you achieved your goals. To celebrate, we are throwing a party with some very special friends! Meet a dinosaur, enjoy some snacks, and bring a book or two to swap with your library friends. We are so excited to party with you soon!

Open to Summer Reading participants who have made progress towards their goal. Book swap items are limited to one box or bag per person. See you there!
