(Joplin, MO) – Joplin Public Library is excited to close out the 2023 Summer Reading Program with an all-ages ending celebration on July 22 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm! As the eight-week reading challenge comes to an end, participants and community members are invited to come together to celebrate all of their hard work.
