Visit the Libraries this Summer
 
Where will summer reading take you?
Start your trip by picking up a great read at a Seguin Public Library branch.  We continue to bring in new books and magazines for all ages to enjoy and can have them ready for pick up at the branch that works for you.  If you are going to be taking a road trip be sure to pick up an audiobook for the drive too.
