📚 I hope you'll join me at the Lauderdale County Library on Wednesday, June 3, at 10:00 a.m. I will be the special guest reader for the kickoff of this year's Summer Reading Program!

Reading opens the door to imagination, learning, and opportunity, and I look forward to sharing a story with our young readers as we celebrate the start of a fun-filled summer.

Bring your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends, and come spend part of your morning with us at the library. I would love to see a great crowd of families supporting literacy and lifelong learning in Lauderdale County.
