Summer Reading Program for 2026: Unearth a Story

Summer 2026 Reading Program:

Calendars are available at the youth circulation desk.

Sign up for the program at the Circulation desk and receive a lanyard, reading log, calendars, and bookmark.

When a reader brings in a full reading log sheet, they can come in and spin the wheel to win a prize.

Readers can complete as many logs as they want! With each weekly visit to the library, get the lanyard signed by a staff member to be entered into a BIG drawing at the end of the program.
