“Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the tree house; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all, summer was Dill.”
– Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird


Summer Reading has begun and it has been great to see how enthusiastic everyone is about reading!  We have over 200 people signed up currently!  It is never too late to join in on the fun.  You can sign up online or in person.  If you sign up online, make sure that you stop by to get your packet and your 1st raffle ticket!  There are over 55 prizes available to enter to win this year.  Sign up, enjoy some great stories, enter to win a great prize, and help us reach our goal of collectively reading 100,000 minutes this summer!
