Summer (Not Just) Reading Program
Regardless of your age, the library invites your to “find your voice” and complete 35 reading or activity sessions before the end of July for prizes (and fun, obvs). Sign up to get tracking.
Get Outside
Explore a new park (or visit an old favorite), take a bike ride for a favorite after-dinner treat before dinner or visit our Recreation Department to check out a Rec Fun Pack, ONE Pack or a fishing rod for some non-video game fun.
Fun and Food
Summer Lunch & Fun provides a free lunch and activity for kids every weekday June 12 through Aug. 11 at the Ranshaw House (or at the Community Center in bad weather). Maybe you’d have fun helping out this year by volunteering to help with an activity.
