DONATIONS ACCEPTED AT THE LIBRARY

Thank you for spreading holiday cheer and supporting the power of reading! ❤️

 

In 2024, we served 948 program attendees over the course of our 8-week Summer Reading Program. Our Summer programming is open to all ages but geared toward children and families to foster a love of reading, encourage lifelong learning, and provide a fun and engaging way to spend the summer months together. Through storytelling, creative activities, and reading challenges, we aim to inspire curiosity, strengthen literacy skills, and build connections within our community.

However, without securing the necessary funding, our beloved Summer Reading Program is at risk. Without your support, we may not be able to continue offering the same enriching experiences and resources that so many families have come to rely on. Help us keep this vital program alive and ensure that children and families have access to the joy and opportunities that reading brings.
