Summer Reading Starts Today!

Our 2020 TEEN Summer Reading Program starts today!  This year's theme is Imagine Your Story! 

Teens in grades 7-12 can participate by reading and earning PRIZES!  Every 20 days of reading earns a prize, and at 40 days you get a FREE BOOK and an entry into our Grand Prize Drawing for gift cards and MORE!  

The program runs from June 15 through August 15.  Read 40 days during that time and record your days online HERE or stop by the library after June 22 to pick up a reading log from the front door.  You can also find a printable version HERE.  Prize pick-up for days you read begins July 29 and ends Aug. 29.
