Summer Library Program

Check out the Calendar for all of the events coming in June and July.
See all scheduled events.
Many fun events will take place throughout the summer, including Explore a Vehicle, a temporary tattoo workshop, a community art piece, ice cream socials, a scavenger hunt, and much more!
Reading challenges are tracked through our online portal hosted by Beanstack.
Here everyone can track reading and activities completed. Parents, you can manage all readers' logs in one place and log family reading time in one entry. Teens and other adults can create and manage accounts too!
Prefer to track your reading on paper? No problem! Stop into the library to pick up a paper log. Completed paper logs can be returned to the library to redeem incentives. Paper logs must be returned to the library by August 4, 2026 to redeem incentives.
