As summer quickly approaches, libraries across Shenandoah County are once again inviting families, children and adults to turn the page on a season filled with imagination, learning and community connection. This year’s summer reading theme, “Unearth a Story,” will bring dinosaurs, archaeology and history together in a fun and engaging way.
