New Junior Series! Meet the Blackthorn Stables Junior series by Elaine Heney. This 7-book collection includes a mystery for every day of the week. Full of adventure and mysteries, this series is also specifically created with dyslexic readers in mind, making it a great choice for children who may find traditional books more challenging.

Summer Numbers Are In!! 🎉📚📈❤️

Check out how engaged the community was this summer! We had a record number of children enroll in our incentive program and 14,525 chapters/books were read by the children in our community. We are so proud of them! We were also touched to see their proud faces all summer long as they showed off their artistic creations and beautiful builds.

We wrapped up our summer programming with an amazing final week filled with creativity, learning, and lots of fun!

Our week began with a beautiful and intricate Japanese Book Binding craft, followed by Mario Kart World on the Nintendo Switch 2!

We also enjoyed LEGO Robotics, Tote Bag Painting with Fabric Markers, Storytime, Little Builders, Da Vinci’s Workshop, our Summer Reading Program PLINKO, and Scavenger Hunts!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us throughout the summer and helped make it so special. We hope you made wonderful memories, learned something new, got creative, and had plenty of fun along the way!

Thank you for making our summer one to remember!
