Creativity is the key to this year’s Summer Reading Club theme (June 14-August 7). You are encouraged to do what you do best – your own thing! You must read, listen to, or download your own selection and then recreate it in your own way—take a photo, sing a song, write a poem, make a collage, create a video, make a puppet, do a cheer, build a model, do a dance—the sky is the limit. A prize drawing will take place at the conclusion of the program. Go to the Information Desk on the Main Level to learn more!
