We're almost at the end of Summer Reading!

Wow, it's been a jam-packed Summer Reading!

We've had some wonderful shows by terrific performers, made slime, chased zombies around the library, and so much more. We're so please with all the completed logs we've received; you all have read so much. It's awesome.

"It's Showtime at Your Library" concludes this Saturday, July 20. Our carnival will have games, snacks, and bouncy houses. It runs from 10 AM - 1 PM. Our grand prize winners will be announced at 1 PM.

We hope to see you there!
