Library News

As the April Reading Challenge approaches, we at the library wish to remind you to get your Reading Challenge booklet turned in to us. Saturday, May 10, will be the official and final Reading Challenge raffle for the awarding of prizes for participants, so please get your booklet turned in for a chance to win. The library would like to thank one and all for participating this year.

Coming soon will be our annual summer reading program, summer adventures and reading challenges. The theme this year is "Color Our World!" Bring the kids ages 0 to 12 or thereabouts. This is a family-friendly summer activity, so get the kids out of the house and enjoy some hands-on library activities. They can watch Sponge Bob later. Our summer reading program will be every Thursday from 1 to 2 p.m., June 26 through Aug. 8. If you have questions, give the library a call at 360-795-3254.
