Summer Reading Program

Summer Reading 2025

Starts June 25th! Register now for our summer reading programs. We have reading programs for kids from birth through 18 years old and in person programs for grades PreK-8. Be sure to stop by the library to pick up your registration goodie bag.

All programs will take place at the Big Tent in the Visitor’s Parking Lot unless otherwise noted with alternative location being the library if weather is inhospitable.

Special Program Alert!!

Late Night at the Library

When: June 17th, 5-11pm

Who: Kids ages 7-11 or in grades 1-5

What: Have you ever wanted to see what happens in the library after the door is locked and the lights go out? Now’s your chance! Come join us for a fun filled evening of food, games, and excitement.

Parents: You will need to sign a special release form when you drop your kid(s) off. Please inform us ahead of time of any dietary concerns as we will be making personal pizzas and need to be ready with any special considerations. If you do not pick your kids up on time they will be fed to the library dragon in the basement!

Kickoff!

Whether you knit, crochet, quilt, or craft in another way, we’d love to see you there. Stop by the library this March and discover all the ways you can learn, create, and connect!

Lead Library Endowment

The Lead Library Endowment Board raises funds to go above and beyond the basics. Tax payer dollars buy the books and keep the lights on.

Some library projects we have supported:

  • Children’s section update
    • furniture, rugs, shelving, etc.
  • Major furniture purchases including:
    • new computer desks
    • new circulation desk
    • fireplace and comfy chairs
  • Children’s programming  supplies
  • Don’t forget the Keurig!

But we can’t do it without your help.
