Warm days are here, and so is our summer reading program! Registration for our adult, teen and children's summer reading programs begins on June 13 - don't miss our extensive schedule of events for all ages, and reading challenges at all levels. Details are below. Also note that children's storytimes are on hiatus until the start of summer reading, on June 13.
But first, start the summer at the Friends of the Library book sale from June 2-4 to collect novels for your beach and pool-side reading. We're offering a timely program on Lyme disease on June 7, presented by Easton Hospital. Details on these programs and more can be found below.
Escape the heat with a good book this summer!
