2024 Summer Reading Program: June 8-August 31
The theme of this year’s Summer Reading is Adventure Begins at Your Library, and there will be a series of programs for all ages, including intergenerational programming. Some of these events will be held outdoors at local sites like Mabie Playground, while others will take place under a tent on the library’s front lawn. Early sign-ups mean an enhanced opportunity to read and earn more points for prizes, such as tickets to the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA, Six Flags Great Adventure, a Weber charcoal grill, and gift certificates from local businesses.
To register, please visit the Ask Us Desk or the Information Desk at the library.
