Summer Learning
 
 
Summer Learning starts June 6! New this summer:

Choose Your Own Summer Challenge

Create a Summer Adventure Log at the Library to inspire your rambles, projects, and moments of connection. Set reading goals, and then joyfully meet them with your nose in a (library) book. Learn new skills, explore new places, and capture memories between the pages of your log. Sketch wildly, tuck in ticket stubs and leaves, smear with ice cream—this adventure is yours alone. For all ages.

Earn Library Scout Patches

Complete four pages in any one challenge category and bring your log to the Library or Bookmobile to receive embroidered library scout patches.
  • Art Adventurer
  • Library Lover
  • Community Creator
  • Reading Ranger
  • Science Scout
Earn all five patches and receive the coveted Summer Superstar patch!
 
Get ready for your summer of learning by creating your very own Summer Adventure Log and trail mix at the Summer Learning Kickoff on Saturday, June 6, 1-3 PM in the Community Room.
