Miss C's Corner Welcome to a very special edition of our Youth Newsletter! Below, you will find information about all of our Summer Programs for kids, teens and families. From reading clubs to art workshops to field trips, we are so excited to offer so many fun, free activities for you and your child this summer. Our program starts Tuesday June 30th, so mark your calendars! Have you picked up your 2026 Library Passport yet? Both you and your child can get credit for checking out books, attending programs and completing special activities. Get enough stamps and you can take home a special prize! We will also be giving out Reading Tracker Bookmarks, which earn you a passport stamp when completed.
Here's a pro tip: You can get LOTS of stamps at Summer Reading events, so make sure to pick up a passport before our Summer Kickoff! Please remember, as always, registration is required for ALL programs! We cannot contact you about essential information unless we know you are planning to attend! Thank you all for being a part of our library's community, and happy reading! - Callison Stratton, aka Miss C Youth Programs Coordinator
