Summer Program Preview

Story Time Adventures: Join us Monday mornings for special summer story times when we partner with area agencies, community resources, and program presenters to bring extra fun activities to the library during summer break. *In the event of rain, outdoor programs may be cancelled or moved to the library. We will post updates on our Facebook page.  

 

Pages & Puzzles: Read, color, and solve puzzles this summer every Thursday during normal hours when Pages & Puzzles expands to include our summertime library visitors. Find or make a cozy spot to read; we're making reading forts just for summer!  Other activities available at Pages & Puzzles include special coloring challenges, puzzles to solve, jigsaw puzzles, and scavenger hunts.
