Go Green @ Your Library
Go Green @ Your Library, this year’s summer reading adventure, is coming to a library near you. Sign-up begins June 19 at both libraries.
Pick up a packet when you sign up to learn more about:

- special programs for elementary-aged children on Wednesday afternoons.
- our ever-popular guessing jar and trivia contests (with prizes!).
- how to win a prize at the end of the summer as well as a special t-shirt just for participating, and
- how to keep track of your reading online if you’re spending time away this summer.
This year, you’ll keep track of the amount of time spent reading in July and August to get your name up on our wall of reading fame – no special lists, no restrictions on what you read.
If you're going to be away this summer, keep track of the books you've read by visiting our online book review website.
