Unearth a Story with us this summer!

Join us for our Summer Reading Program, running June 28–August 21, where readers of all ages can read and earn prizes all summer long!

We'll kick things off with a Summer Reading Kickoff Party on June 28 featuring games, crafts, face painting, prizes, and more. It's also the perfect time to sign up for the Summer Reading Program and start your reading adventure.

This year's theme, Unearth a Story, brings plenty of dinosaur-themed fun for children, but the excitement doesn't stop there! Teens and adults can participate too, with opportunities to track their reading, complete challenges, and earn prizes of their own.

Mark your calendars, gather your reading list, and join us for a summer full of stories, fun, and prizes!
