Programs, events, and resources for tweens and teens in grades 6 and up
Summer Reading Program
Incoming Grades 6 and up
 
There's an entire universe full of stories all summer long, here at the library! 

  • Check out YA and Summer Reading materials and receive a scratch off ticket at the front desk! Some tickets are instant winners, but some are entries for our big summer raffle, where 5 readers will win a bag of prizes and books! Each check out also gives you access to stickers to add to our collaborative poster in the Teen Room.

  • Pick up a reading log and keep track of what you're reading. When you fill out a log, turn it in at the front desk to collect a special alien, astronaut mini-figure, or squishy. Collect as many as you can! Each book read is also special raffle ticket! Click here to download a copy of the reading log!
​
  • There will be fun programs all summer long, from ice cream taste testing to a Space Jam movie night!
