The second part of our summer reading program begins next week. The programs are similar but rescheduled at different times. All you need to do to participate is to register; then you are given a packet with instructions, reading logs, schedule and activities. The programs require pre-registration because of the craft supplies involved, but we kick off with Pokeball Terrariums on Tuesday, July 2, 2019 at noon.
