Adventure begins at your library, and we have special Summer Reading programs for children, teens, and adults. Did you know the average child loses two months of reading skills over the summer? You can help avoid the slide by registering your child for Summer Reading and encouraging your child to read for twenty minutes daily. We have thousands of books from which to choose, and kids who turn in their reading logs on time will earn gift cards to Sonic and Dairy Queen, thanks to the Friends of the Library.
