Reading Takes You Everywhere!” is the inspirational theme of 2018’s Summer Reading Program. Reading enables you to travel in time — and no matter the destination, it’s a new way of seeing things. When you mix up your summer with the library’s special activities, your voyage can be one of discovery. Start with the kick-off party and its special guests on June 5; have fun and look forward to your travels!
