What's going on in the children's room?

Next time you visit the library you may see some strange things brewing in the children's room!  The walls are all decked out with stars, clouds and other night time things.  Some popular storybook characters are tucked into bed by our computer room.  The projects you all worked on months ago are displayed around the room and there seems to be a group of  "lightning bugs" that have made their homes on our shelves.

What does it all mean?

Summer Reading is just around the corner!

Starting next Monday, June 18th, you can come in and sign up for our annual Summer Reading Program.  This year's theme is *drumroll* "Dream Big, Read".

If that isn't soon enough for you, we have already begun sign  ups for some of our great programs.

Be sure to stop in and join the fun.
