See below and check our online Library Calendar of Children's Events for times and information about upcoming children's programs.


Summer Reading Program

The Children's Room sponsors a Summer Reading Program with activities planned around a different theme each year. This year the theme is Wild Reads at your Library. Children sign up for the program in the Children's Room and keep track of the books they read during the summer.

Younger children participate in a Read-to-Me program in which the parents record all the books they read to their smaller children.

There is always a special event at the end of the summer to honor all those who have participated. Every child receives a certificate.


Book Discussion Group

Brown Bag Book Discussion Group

This group is for children entereing 4th grade and older. Bring a brown bag lunch and we will supply drinks and snacks. Copies of the books will be available in the Children's Room after June 20th. Sign up early, because space is limited.
