We had a great summer reading together! We had 40 people participate in our "Unearth a Story" Summer Reading Program with a grand total of 1,851 books read across all our participants! 🥳
Each age category had one reader who stood above the rest, reading the MOST books in their category! Shout out to Kolaiah, Elijah, Rachel, Sarah, Noah and an anonymous winner (picture not available) for your achievement! And Thank you to all who read this summer with us!

Did you know that September is Library Card Sign-Up Month?!
If you live in our community and don't have a library card, you are always welcome to stop in and sign up. We are a part of the MORE System so you have access to 1.4 Million Items across 55 libraries and 10 counties, and you also will have access to our computers, WIFI, printing and faxing services! Not to mention you'll get to meet the best librarians and volunteers around! 😁🥰
