Summer reading starts Monday July 9 and continues for six
weeks through August 18. This year’s theme is “Libraries Rock” so it’s all up
to you whether you wear tie-dyed Ts and bellbottoms, or grab a rock hammer and
field guide. Either way, head on down to the library to sign up for summer
reading because books are cool and there are tons of prizes!
Readers of all ages – from “just beginning” through high
school – are encouraged to explore new books and relax with favorite stories. Weekly
prizes include geodes and crystal-growing kits. Fill out tickets to enter the end-of-summer
