Immerse yourself in creative adventures, forge new friendships, take on epic quests, and see what adventures your library has to offer this summer!

Summer Learning Program is available to children, teens, and adults and encourages reading and learning throughout the summer months. We will have reading challenges, prizes, and programs all within this year’s theme “Adventure Begins at Your Library”.

Complete challenges along our “Trail Adventure” reading log to take your summer to the next level! As you explore our Trail Adventure you will encounter two types of challenges. Reading challenges will encourage you to be adventurous in your reading and Adventure challenges will push you to add adventures to your summer that are nonreading related.

Complete as many challenges as you can along the way! As you complete a challenge, color in the icon. No need to go in order.

Turn in your reading log with at least 8 challenges completed by the end of summer to receive a prize.

Attend Summer Learning events and earn tickets for grand prize drawings at the End of The Summer Celebration. Each person will also receive a prize when returning their reading log at the end of summer.

Each week we will explore a new adventure with themed programs. We will have a variety of weekly programs and crafts for all age groups.

Each week will have a:

• Passive Program– an activity available to anyone who comes into the library that day.
• Weekly Event– a program for all ages based on that week’s theme
• Creative Community– a weekly craft adaptable to all ages (Wednesdays at 4 pm)
