LibraryAware July 2022

The Bookcase July/August 2022

There's No Place Like Home!

It is good to be home! Thank you to all who visited during our first week. The library renovations are complete and it looks beautiful. Library staff are still working on various move-related projects and working on ironing out a few bumps in the road.
Here are the latest updates:

All Library Staff are back in the Cooper Street Building. There are no services or collections remaining at the Agawam Senior Center.
We welcome your returns! There will be no late fees this summer.
In-person library programming will resume in September.

Summer Reading 2022 Program Update

Welcome to Camp Cooper!

Adult Summer Reading is on! This year's theme is "Read Beyond the Beaten Path" and focuses on all things camp and the outdoors! We had to shorten and simplify our program this summer due to our uncertain move timeline. But we hope the challenge keeps you
reading this summer!

Readers have the choice to either follow along with the reading challenges on Beanstack OR our printed BINGO sheets. Complete 5 challenges (1 BINGO) and earn a raffle ticket for prizes. BINGO sheets are available at the Information Desk.
Drawings will be held Friday, August 5th.

Click our Agawam Library link above for more information. And Click the Beanstack link to log-in to start the online challenge.

Adult Summer Reading runs from July 5 to August 5.
