NEW Science and Reading Activity Logs
We have NEW science and reading activity logs filled with a variety of activities for you to explore throughout the rest of the summer.  Identify birds in your neighborhood, read a biography of a scientist, take a walk and observe nature around you, watch a science DVD, or more.  After you complete any 6 choices, you will receive a prize and enter the prize drawing.  

You may pick up a copy of the science and reading activity log from the library or see it here.

You will have until September 15 to receive prizes for completing six choices on the science and reading activity log. We hope you enjoy reading, experimenting, and exploring!

Friday, June 13 is the first day to pick up reading logs from the library and register for the Summer Reading Program.  Sparkles the Clown will be at the library from 10:30 to 12:30 creating balloon animals.  We'll hand out helium balloons the rest of the day.
