As summer winds down, our Summer Reading Program is coming to a close — and what a great season it’s been.
We hosted magic shows, animal encounters, hands-on art projects and science experiments that sparked curiosity across all ages.
We've filled out reading logs, kids earned fun prizes and the library buzzed with creativity, learning and community.
From packed storytimes to |

quiet reading moments, every part of this summer reminded us how powerful stories and libraries can be.

"I loved reading RuNyx's new book Enigma, a dark academia gothic romance. Salem comes to the highly atmospheric Mortimer University predominantly to solve the mystery of her older sister's murder. She is instantly drawn to Caz, the teaching assistant of her main suspect. Romance, intrigue, secret societies and murder had me flying through this one."
