This year, Summer Reading embraced unity among all people by inviting us to look at others with an open heart and to see everyone’s unique, wonderful self. Together we can make the world a better place.
If you completed this year’s program, finishing prizes are available at your library, on the bookmobile or via curbside pickup. Additional prize drawings will take place soon!
