Dear Parents, Grandparents, and Guardians,

We sincerely hope you enjoy your 2022 Summer Break! This guide is packed with fun ideas, activities, camps and tips to help you make the most of your time with your child or children this summer. Help prevent the "summer slide" by encouraging your child to continue reading and learning, so their skills remain sharp when they return to school in the fall, ready to learn!

The Parent Resource Center Library will be open this summer for you and your child to come pick out books, learning resources, toys, games and more!

Our summer hours are Monday through Thursday, from 9am to 3pm.
