This year's theme is Adventure Begins at Your Library. Think travel, camping, scavenger hunts and more! In addition to SRP, we have great programs for children of all ages! You can sign up for the reading program beginning June 1st here: http://mchenrylibrary.beanstack.org We are working on a promotional video that you can send out to your students. Look out for it in one of our future e-mails!
