Summer Reading Update

After 8 weeks, Summer Reading is over. We had 111 programs total at our 4 libraries with an attendance of 1989. Needless to say, Miss Bridget is tired! I'm looking forward to our fall programs. The calendar tab has been updated with preschool story times (which start back next week) and the special events through September.
