Summer Reading 2022

- Keep reading and earning prizes!  Kids can continue to collect their summer reading prizes through the end of August.

- Congratulations to all the kids who have been reading this summer,  you've spent nearly 1,500 hours reading or being read to! 

- Thank you to everyone who joined us this summer at a Children's program.  It was a busy summer, and so nice to see everyone!  We hope to see you in the fall for more fun programming for kids of all ages!

We have a limited number of Dinosaur Learning Boxes available at the Library.  Each box contains a variety of activities geared towards children ages 5 and up.  Everything your child needs to experiment and learn about dinosaurs is included, there's even a real fossil!

The boxes are provided by Ohio Library Council in partnership with the Center of Science and Industry (COSI) in an effort to make science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) learning opportunities more accessible to children.  

Ages 5 and up.  Limit one per child or three per family, while supplies last.
