Summer Reading has arrived!June is the beginning of Summer Reading for youth and adults! Adults can join the fun by registering on Beanstack! This year we have 10 challenges you can complete and earn up to 10 raffle tickets to put in a raffle drawing of your choice. Prizes are sponsored by our Friends of the CLN group and include a gift certificate to a local bookstore, a cozy book lover's gift bag, an artist's creative wonder book bag, or a Jane Austen Collector's book set. In addition to the reading challenge, we have several programs this year in which we'll be digging into the theme of "Color our World" and learning and exploring color in new and exciting ways. Join us for cooking classes, learn how to dye fabric using natural ingredients, or stop by to explore and manipulate old technology to make new, creative and expressive art! We have so many programs we couldn't include them all in this newsletter, but check-out our summer program guide on our website! |
