Junior Scholars: Summer!

Junior Scholars | Oceans of Possibility

It's SUMMER! School is out, the weather is warm, and there are so many fun things to do! This includes the Library's Summer Reading Program, which starts THIS WEEK! This year's theme is "Oceans of Possibilities."  For every 15 days that you read for at least 20 minutes, you’ll earn a free book (that’s up to FOUR books!)! You can pick up a bookmark at your nearest library to help you keep track. But the fun doesn’t stop there...you can also earn tickets by visiting your library and attending programs that you can turn in for prizes! We hope to see you at some of our events and activities, and keep reading!

Junior Scholars: Imagination

Junior Scholars

One of the most brilliant people in the world once said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." You may have heard of him; the famous scientist and inventor, Albert Einstein. Even he knew that imagination was something so important that it should be valued and celebrated. With your imagination you can create anything and everything! What will you imagine this week?
