2024 Summer Library Program
Summer is here, so let’s get reading! The Summer Library Program will fill your summer with fun for the whole family, from reading challenges to magic shows and animal encounters.
When Does the Summer Library Program Start?
The Summer Library Program starts on different dates at different libraries, but most begin in early June and go through late July or early August. Follow your library on social media, check their website, or ask next time you’re there. Find your library.
Reading is Winning!
Every library offers an exciting reading challenge for kids, teens, and adults to encourage everyone to dive into the pages of books all summer long. When you sign up for Summer Library Program, you’ll get information on the reading challenge and everything happening at your library this summer.
A Summer Of Fun
Meet a snake. Make some magic. Dance to the beat!
Professional performers, from magicians to animal ambassadors, are coming to your public library this summer to make learning fun.
