Summer Reading Is Complete!

AND IT WAS ANOTHER RECORD SETTING YEAR!

We had over 800 people filling out reading paths and claiming tickets for the grand prize drawings!  Thank you so much to everyone that participated in Summer Reading this year!

 

With four times as many programs as last year,

this summer was super busy at the library, just the way we like it!

A special shout out to all of our sponsors and partners! 

Summer Reading would look so different without all of your support!

Thank you all for another FANTASTIC year!!
