Many thanks to all of the 2026 Summer Readers and families who helped us kick-off another great summer at the library this morning. Our Country Fair Launch Party was filled with country carnival games, a secret hidden message game, a summer themed keepsake Photo Booth, and of course PRIZES! We can’t wait to see you for our first day of daily activities beginning Monday.

Today we are congratulating the students at Washington Elementary, Pontiac School District 429 and Mrs. Hinz’s 1st and 2nd grade classes at Graymont Grade School for being this year’s “Check-It-Out Challenge” winners. During our 6 week contest, Washington School students read 178 books using their free student/teacher library cards. Mrs Hinz’s class read a total of 46 books. The students were all awarded dilly bars for their reading success.
