June 2023 Newsletter

Summer Reading starts in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…NOW! Registration begins Saturday, May 27 and runs through July 21. The children’s program is for babies through 14-year-olds and kids will receive incentive prizes for every 120 minutes they read. In addition to individual prizes, the kids can earn tickets to put into raffles for end-of-the-program prizes such as gift certificates to restaurants, stores, or tickets to experiences like museums. Check our online schedule for dates and times for performers and programs such as seashell identification, book clubs, video game design and much, much more. There is no fee for the program and you do not have to be a library member to participate.
