Summer Reading

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to wish everyone a great summer and also talk a little about books and summer reading.  Currently, I have been trying to get kids and staff to bring in their overdue library books.  However, I would be delighted to check books out to anyone for the summer.  I am going to link some of the best books of the year below.
