Now at Howe: May 15, 2026 | | Our Summer Reading Program is Just One Month Away! | | | | |
Get ready to Unearth a Story from June 15 through August 15. We’re digging into everything from archaeology and ancient fossils to the secrets of science and America’s 250th.
Join us for a summer of adventure and see what mysteries you can find! This year, we have partnered with the Etna Library to bring you a series of fabulous programs. Plus, we’ll have reading challenges available for kids, teens, and adults alike. And our Summer Community Reads returns with a new title.
