Our summer programs for kids, teens, and adults begin Sunday, June 1, and continue through Saturday, August 16.

Summer is traditionally a busy time at libraries, where extra activities can help encourage reading and neutralize summer learning loss for kids and teens while school is out. These programs and activities also encourage library users of all ages to become lifelong readers and learners.

	Through the Summer Adventure program, kids ages 0-11 can read, learn, listen, and explore with an alien friend, Zorb. This flexible program can be tailored to each child’s interests and learning needs.
	Teens ages 12-18 can Level Up! their summer with a video game-themed program that promotes literacy of all kinds, including reading, crafting, cooking, and gaming.
	Adults can get in on the fun, too. With the 10,000 Experiences at Your Library program, participants can explore the community and take home a snazzy prize.

For each program, participants complete activities on a game card and return it to the library to collect a reward. Each person who completes a game card is also entered in a drawing for the chance to win grand prizes.
