And everyone is invited to join in the summer reading challenge, from kiddos to adults.
Whether you’re exploring fossil-filled mysteries or uncovering hidden worlds, your next adventure is closer than you think. With free library cards for everyone this year, kids, teens, and adults can all join the fun. Dust off your explorer hat, sign up for Summer Reading, and start your journey on May 26.
