Summer reading is here!  This year’s theme is Color Our World, and the library is ready to host a variety of events for children, families, teens, and adults this summer.  Summer reading programs help prevent the “summer slide,” when students lose some of their reading skills over the summer. Summer reading also encourages a lifelong love of reading and can improve self-esteem. If interested, register online at www.allencountylibrary.com or stop by the library.

A Summer Reading Kick-Off Event will be held in front of the library for First Fridays on the Square on Friday, June 6^th, beginning at 6 PM. Families can register for Summer Reading as well as participate in an assortment of fun activities.
