Summer Reading 2024
June 26 to August 7
The Summer Reading Program's theme this year is "Read, Renew, Repeat", so many of our programs will feature the idea of conservation. Conservation as a movement focuses on protecting species from extinction, maintaining and restoring habitats, enhancing ecosystem services, and protecting biological diversity. Summer Reading is for ALL AGES. Sign up above to participate, and scroll down to see what we have planned.
