Adult Summer Reading
Teen and Adult Summer Reading begins June 4-July 30. We are making it super simple. Choose a book from our special display OR choose your own book and fill out a special bookmark when you return the book. Enter as many times as you can read during June 4-July 30. Each returned bookmark gets you an entry into the prize drawing. Who says reading is not a summer pass time? Not us!
Friendship Book Club - Since 2020, we have curated a selection of titles with two copies for you and a friend to read and have your own book club during the winter months. See the special display with new titles and even free bookmarks. This is another way to read this summer!
