Summer is in full swing at the library! We have focused a lot of attention on this year’s Summer Reading Program, All Together Now, but we are still offering plenty of our usual programs and events. For the month of June, we are hosting 44 programs and events for children, teens, families, and adults. Beat the summer heat by coming to the library and checking out what we have going on!
We have a great variety of programs for children, teens, and families this month. Our All-Ages Storytime happens every Wednesday at 12:00 PM. As the name suggests, this storytime is suitable for the youngest little ones to older children. Roots & Readers, our weekly gardening program, meets every Thursday at 11:00 AM in our Community Garden in the back parking lot of the library. Roots & Readers is a multigenerational program meant for children, teens, and families to learn about gardening. Know Your City: A Summer Reading Program Series for Children is every Thursday at 3:00 PM and is an opportunity for children and their families to come learn about different City departments such as Fire, Police, Engineering, and more! Imagination & Collaboration Station will be on June 9th at 3:00 PM.
