MML Newsletter  July 1, 2025

As we wrap up Summer Reading this month we want to remind everyone that you can still sign up. It only takes 1 prize slip for a chance to win! We are looking forward to our Block Party and Cruise-In on July 18th, 5-7pm. We still have spots available on the pavement. If you have a nice ride to show off, call us! We'll have 4 prizes this year! Three judges will choose 1st, 2nd & 3rd, and we'll also have a fan favorite choice.  We hope you are having an amazing summer and can't wait to see you all at the library!
