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.
               
Family Fort Night is an interactive event for the whole family.  Participants will construct their own forts for reading and book discussions.  This takes place on Monday, July 8th at 8 p.m.  This is your chance to be in the library after hours.
