Summer Reading in Review

Summer Reading is always one of our favorite seasons at the library (followed closely by autumn reading, winter reading, and spring reading, in no particular order). The best thing about Summer reading is that we get the chance to hear from our patrons about what they read on the beach and by the pool...oh and the prizes. So while the official Summer Reading programs have drawn to a close, there is still celebrating to do! Check out how we're celebrating readers from each program:
