There’s still plenty of time to participate in Summer Reading @ the Fond du Lac Public Library. Readers of all ages can tally their time with books, magazines, audiobooks and more for great rewards. Sign-up takes just minutes at fdlpl.org/summer2020 or at any library service desk.

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 Main Library at 32 Sheboygan St. will be closed Saturday, July 4, in observance of Independence Day.

July virtual program lineup for kids:

Interactive Windows: Through Aug. 15. Check out the Children’s Room outdoor windows at the Fond du Lac Public Library, 32 Sheboygan St., for fun activities, photo ops and more all summer long. There’s something new every week.

Family Parks Adventure: Through Aug. 15. Pick up a form at the Children’s Desk at the Fond du Lac Public Library, 32 Sheboygan St., or find it at fdlpl.org/parksadventure, then visit Fond du Lac’s city parks to find the hidden letters. Unscramble the letters to discover the secret phrase. Bring your form to the Children’s Desk by Aug. 15 to be entered into the drawing for a Family Fun Prize Pack. Free.
