Turn "bummer summer" into fun summer!

The last several weeks have felt more like "bummer summer" than the summer of fun that many of us had in mind. Now that the clouds are clearing out and sunny skies have returned (knocking all the wood), we want to remind you that there are so many fun summer programs going on at the library in the next couple of weeks. Here are just some of the things we are really excited about. For a full list of programs, check out our calendar of events.

Most of our in-person programs are taking place outside on the library lawn under a tent, so please make sure to register for programs so we can notify you if plans change because of the weather.
