The Library has launched its annual Summer Reading Program! On Saturday June 4, 10:30 - 11:30 a.m., children can drop in and get their face painted or their hand decorated with a cool henna design and register. This fun morning will kick off eight weeks of reading and activities for youth and will introduce families to this year's summer reading theme: Oceans of Possibilities. Sign up online here, or pick up a sticker log in Youth Services. Children can track their reading this summer while earning prizes along the way.
