Everyone participating in Summer Reading @ the Library must turn in their reading cards by Aug. 15 to reap their just rewards for reading. Cards can be turned in at any downtown Main Library service desk or curbside pickup. Due to the pandemic and the library’s dedication to keeping the community and staff safe, all of the library’s summer programming is virtual or outdoors.

The August program lineup for kids:
