Stay Cool and Keep Turning Those Pages
A  NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

As summer winds down, we want to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for our summer programs! From story times and crafts to science experiments and coding, we hope you had as much fun as we did. 

 

This summer, our community read over 285,798 minutes together! Over 126 of our patrons have completed the Summer Reading Challenge! That’s an incredible achievement, and we’re so proud of all our readers.

 

We loved seeing your creativity, curiosity, and smiles all summer long. Keep reading, keep exploring, and we can’t wait to see you again soon at the library!

Stay cool and keep turning those pages!
