Summer Reading will be a little different this year, but “Dig Deeper: Read, Investigate, Discover,” will take place June 1 to July 31, featuring access to digital materials, online programming, and more!
This summer, readers of all ages are encouraged to dig below the surface and discover the science of everyday things, the marvels of other cultures, and the wonders of nature and the environment while delving into the unknown, envisioning the future, and exploring a treasury of knowledge. Dig Deeper this summer and READ!
While the library building is still closed to the public due to COVID-19, kids, teens, and adults can participate in summer reading at home and earn points for reading to redeem for prizes! Virtual programming will include online story times and engaging activities for exploring creativity, gardening, science, family history, and more!
