This year’s summer reading theme is All Together Now! We have special programs and prizes for every age group. Our summer reading kick-off event begins on Friday, June 2, at 6:00 pm on the library’s front porch. Families can register for the summer reading, fish for prizes, throw a water balloon at a librarian and complete the chalk obstacle course.
