2017 Summer Reading Program May 30 - July 31 Kids and adults are invited to win prizes for reading this summer with the library's "Build a Better World" summer reading program. All participants will be eligible for prizes. Kids will track each day they read this summer with a reading log that also acts as a coloring sheet! Teens will not have a reading log...instead, they get a lucky scratch ticket each day they check out materials or attend a program. Adults will once again be challenged to keep reading this summer too with their very own "Build A Better World" summer reading challenge.
