Starting May 30  Summer Reading Challenge on Now!

Our annual Summer Reading Challenge begins Tuesday!  Every year, our libraries put together a reading challenge for each age group (youth, young adult and adult) as well as offer a plethora of events and activities throughout the month of June.  Accept the reading challenge for the chance to win some amazing prizes or just attend a few of the activities that interest you.  The main goal is to get everyone -  regardless of age - excited about reading and looking at literacy in a new light.
