Celebrate the Summer Reading Program with Kick-off Activities May 24
Saturday, May 24, begins the library’s Summer Reading Program, Fizz, Boom, READ! Children in preschool-grade 5 are invited to drop by any of the 10 library branches and pick up your game board to track your reading hours and earn prizes through Aug. 2. Children and teens can also pick up their game boards when the Mobile Library drops by your neighborhood.
These branches also have kick-off activities on Saturday, May 24, for children in preschool-grade 5.
