Our Summer Reading Program is here! Make plans for your student in grades K-6 to be at the library every Thursday afternoon through July 22nd. For your convenience, we'll gather at 1:30 and again at 3:30 pm, so if you miss the early show, then hopefully you can make it later. For this week's activities we’ll see the Dewey Decimal Players perform a telling of the children's book Rainbow Fish, and get an aquarium at the library for patrons to enjoy. Encourage your child to read this summer, and show them reading can be fun! Free!
