Adventure begins at your Library!
 
Come one, come all! Join us this summer as the adventure begins at your library!
 
Summer is a great time to stop by the library and pick up a few new books. 
 
What could be better than reading a book under a tree, on a boat, in a tent!  Dr. Seuss says it best.
 
Oh, the Places You'll Go! You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
 
Don’t forget, the adventure of the library is for all ages.

Welcome to Summer!
 
This summer we invite you to join us for ADVENTURE BEGINS AT YOUR LIBRARY. We have something for everyone: books, music, cooking demonstrations, community hikes, family concerts, art projects, and so much more.
 
Pick up a program guide at any library or check out the calendar of events on our website for the most up-to-date program information.

Each location offers summer meals free to children 1 to 18. Join us for a program and stay for a free lunch. Everyone is welcome.
 
We welcome you into our libraries and look forward to celebrating a summer full of ADVENTURES for you and your family.

Run on your new legs. 1
by Wataru Midori

"Shouta Kikuzato's hopes of starting on his school's prestigious soccer team are derailed when a terrible incident costs him his leg. Now in his first year of high school (again), Kikuzato has resigned himself to never reaching his athletic dreams. But when Chidori, a passing prosthetist, notices Kikuzato's artificial limb--and speed--as he races through the train station, the specialist proposes a partnership: Chidori will build Kikuzato a brand-new leg designed solely for speed. All Kikuzato has to do is run!"
