Something exciting is sprouting at the library!

Registration for our Summer Reading Program opens Monday, June 15th for Kids, Teens, and Adults!

This year’s theme is Plant a Seed, Read — We look forward to seeing you!

Join us Thursdays at 4pm for a hands-on adventure where creativity meets curiosity! Kids will explore fun art projects and simple science activities, mixing colors, experimenting, building, and discovering how things work. It’s a playful way to spark imagination and encourage a love of learning—come ready to create, explore, and maybe even get a little messy! Designed for kids ages 6-9.

Make it your crowning ambition to save the kingdom or take back your royal title in these jewels!
