Every June and July, the library hosts a Summer Reading program.   All ages can participate, from babies to teens to grandparents.  It’s easy to join, and readers can earn fun surprises, restaurant certificates, and free books as a reward for reading during the summer months.

PRIZES: After registration, you will receive a Reading Log aka “Dirt Docket.”  Read and complete activities to earn tickets to enter in drawings.  Prize drawings will be displayed at the library during Summer Reading and awarded at the end of the summer.  Reading Logs must be completed by Friday, July 19th at 1:00 pm.
