Children's Department News

There is still time to sign your child/ren up for Summer Reading!

Stop by the library and pick up a reading log.

Keep track of how much time your child spends reading, or is read to, over the summer.

Bring the reading log to the library everytime your child reaches one of the reading goals and they can collect a prize.

While supplies last, prizes include Skoops & McDonalds coupons, backpacks or bookbags, books, temporaty tattoos or stickers, and other fun prizes.

There is summer reading for teen and adults as well!
