SUMMER STORYTIMES NEWS
Program & storytime break

We're taking a break! While the Summer Learning Challenge will continue through the end of August and we encourage you to fill in logs and pick up your prizes, other in-person kids' programs and live storytimes will be on pause from August 15-September 18. Not to worry, though - we'll be posting Online Stories every Friday and new Dial-A-Story tales every Monday to keep you entertained.

In the meantime, the Youth Services team will be preparing for a full slate of exciting fall programs. We can't wait to show you what we have in store!
