Dream Big…READ this Summer!

We will once again be holding a summer reading program for patrons from the ages of 5-18.  The benefits of participating in a summer reading program go beyond the fun prizes; children who read regularly during the summer are shown to perform better on reading comprehension tests when returning to school than peers who do not read during the summer. 

The theme for this year’s program is “Dream big…READ!”. Any book borrowed from the library and read during the summer will count towards your reading total.  Prizes will be distributed at the end of the program, once all borrowed summer reading materials are returned to the library.  Sign up will be available in late May.
