Celebrate your reading success!

Join us for a fun-filled celebration at our Summer Reading Prize Party!  Enjoy face painting, balloon sculptures, Reading to Dogs, and more!  We'll announce the grand prize winners, branch prize winners, and ticket drawing winners of our summer reading challenges.  Winners will be able to pick up their prizes during the event* or the following week at their home branches.

It's a perfect way to wrap up the summer with joy and excitement!

* Branch prizes will NOT be distributed during this event.  Winners will be announced, but those prizes must be picked up at the branch.
