Along with the joy of reading we will have fun programs and events at all three of our libraries. Summer reading begins June 1 and ends July 23 for the Powell Library. Adults, teens and children earn tickets for every book they read and can then use these tickets for prizes or donate to a worthy cause. Stop by the Powell Library and sign up for summer reading and enjoy all the wonderful reading rewards and great programs we will be offering.
