Join us for our exciting Summer Reading Program "Be Creative @ Your Library". This summer will be filled with storytimes and special events held every week - learn about cartooning, decorate flower pots and make your own mask, see the Rainbow Puppets, meet some Therapy Dogs, see Balloon Creatures by Susan, meet some animals from the Amazon River area, and more.

To join in the fun, just register at any of our branch libraries or Bookmobile stop.

Checkout the latest videos on YouTube about our exciting Summer Reading Program.

When you register, you'll get a reading log, a calendar of events, and a bookmark.

Prizes will be awarded at three levels, based on how many minutes you read.

Join the weekly "I Found It" contest and be eligible for a weekly drawing.
