🐟📚Storytime started with two Fin-tastic books about fish! After that, the kids got to make their own paper plate fishbowls, and we finished Storytime with some delicious goldfish snacks!

🏖️📚Don’t let the kids have all the reading fun this summer! 📚🏖️

Read a book, rate it between 0-5, and tell us why you loved (or hated) it!

For every book you read, your name will be entered into a drawing at the end of the summer!

😎📚Just in time for the official start of Summer on Sunday! Join our Youth Summer Reading Challenge! 📚😎

Open to all readers from Kindergarten through 18 years old! Have your kids come pick up a Reading Reward Card to track their reading all throughout the Summer! Every child who finishes their card before the first day of Autumn (September 22nd!) will get a special prize!

As a fun addition: Big books will earn more stamps! So this is the perfect time to encourage them to read those larger chapter books!

What a Dino-mite Summer Reading Adventure! 🦕📚

Our Unearth a Story Summer Reading program has come to an end, and what an incredible journey it was! This last week was spent discovering fossils and dinosaurs, having outdoor adventures and hands-on exploration. Our young readers dug deep into stories, science, and fun!

A special congratulations to Auggie and Hazel for each winning a gift certificate to Hansen's!

A huge THANK YOU to our amazing sponsors and volunteers who helped make this program possible. Your generosity, time, and support helped create unforgettable experiences for the children in our community. We couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you for helping us unearth a summer full of learning, laughter, and adventure! 🦖💚📖
