Note from the Director
Everyone deserves a gold star for amazing participation in our Summer Reading Program! We had 117 kids who logged a whopping 63,630 minutes of reading, 49 teens who completed 266 coupons, and 110 adults who read 605 books.
We're going back to the roaring 1920s next month for the Carroll and Madison Library Foundation's Community Book Read, Literary Tastes Dinner fundraiser, and showings of two film versions in the Library Boulevard Bookend. See below for details on all the related events!
