Read all summer long. Keep track of your reading and bring in your logs anytime you come to the library.
Children: For every hour you read, are read to, or listen to an audio book, you will receive a raffle ticket and a rocket. Your paper rockets will be added to the Universe Display in the stairwell.
Teens and Adults: For every book you read (audio books too!), you will receive a raffle ticket to choose from a variety of prizes. (Including a small Josh Simpson inhabited world)

Programs. Throughout the summer there will be story hours, crafts, afternoon and evening programs and Friday night movies. Join us whenever you can.

Don’t Forget. Earn extra raffle tickets when you spot Elijah, Owl Astronaut, around town or read space-related books. Decorate the library lawn by building an alien spacecraft.
