Teen Summer Reading Program
The Teen Summer Reading Program is almost here! We are busy planning lots of fun events for you to participate in that celebrate space and “A Universe of Stories“!
Registration begins on Monday, June 24 at 10 am. Youth entering grades 6-12 can stop by the library to sign up and collect a goodie bag just for registering. NEW this year, when you let us know how much you read each week, you can come into the library to receive a scratch-off ticket for an instant prize. You will also receive raffle tickets for a chance at one of our 3 Grand Prize Teen Raffle Baskets simply by registering, checking out books, and attending library programs.
We hope that you’re as excited about these upcoming events as we are!
(Events with an asterisk require registration. All events are for youth entering grades 6-12, unless otherwise stated.)
