Summer Reading Update — Two Weeks Left!

Summer Reading participants, we’re entering the final stretch of the program with just two weeks to go. Please remember to turn in your minutes read each Friday for the next two weeks. The program officially ends on July 27.

Right now, teens and adults are in the lead for total minutes read — but only by a small margin. There’s still plenty of time for the kids to take the top spot.

We’ll celebrate everyone’s hard work with our Summer Reading Awards Ceremony on August 3 at 12:30 PM, held right before the Jurassic Magic Show.

Keep reading, keep logging those minutes, and let’s finish strong to reach our 30,000 combined minute goal.

“Little Bug Earns Her Spots” by Julianne Endres

On May 2nd, author Julianne Endres delighted both children and adults with a reading of her new book, Little Bug Earns Her Spots. The children joined in, sharing thoughtful ideas about the kind things they can do for others, a perfect tie‑in to the book’s message.

After the reading, families enjoyed cake and lemonade, and the children had fun creating their own ladybug craft to take home.
