Summer brings fun opportunities at the library

As the summer months are approaching, consider visiting the library more.

Immerse your children in the fun of the library.

Aside from being a nice place to cool off from the summer heat, we have a lot going on for us this summer.

We have tons of programs scheduled including summer reading and even a magician.

Summer is also a great time to read with your child.

Our 1,000 books program is still going on, and you could make it your goal to read a certain number of books with your child this summer.

With no school for three months, you can fill the gap in your child’s learning at the library.

Use the break as an opportunity to give your child a jump-start in reading.

Not all of the learning has to be for children. This summer at the library you could use Mango Languages, our language learning service, to learn (or practice) a language.

Or you could simply check out a book about a topic you want to know more about.

Whatever you choose to do this summer, I hope you make us part of it.
