We've had a most adventuresome summer together at the library! I'm sure you have many stories to share with your school friends. Before starting back-to-school mode, we'll be wrapping up the Library's summer reading program; be sure to get your prizes and check here to see when your favorite branch is having a closing party.

Junior Scholars: Summer 2024—Feel the heat?

Junior Scholars

Summer officially started just 10 days ago and it is already super HOT! I hope you are finding ways to beat the heat and stay cool. Here are several things you can do: read (inside!) for 20 minutes a day to take your mind off the weather; pretend to be on an adventure to explore the Arctic or search for a Yeti; or visit your favorite branch of the Library to meet up with others at a program for some cool, air conditioned activities. The awesome thing is that any of those activities will help you earn prizes and free books during the summer reading program! Keep cool, friends and hope to see you chillin' at the Library soon!
