Summer Reading Program

Every summer the library offers a summer reading program for children and adults for all ages. Each summer we explore, learn, and grow together through reading, interactive games and activities,  and much more. To keep the fun going all summer, each week has it's own theme. There will be something fun and new to take with you every time you step through the door. 

  • Book bingos
  • Reading logs 
  • Downtown stroll map
  • Weekly grab bags


Summer Reading Program 2023All Together Now-Slogan

This summer, we had an average of 105 participants. Each week we had people in various roles of our community share their job and the impact they have on us all. We gave away 10 grand prizes, 54 reading prizes, and 176 summer reading tote bags.  Next year's theme is "Adventure Begins at Your Library". Make plans to come travel with us next summer!
