Readers assemble
We’re starting a new book club for children who love to read! Come by the library on the second and fourth Monday of the month at 4 p.m. to read with friends. No monthly book is required; just bring whatever you’d like to read or find a new book on the shelf, find a cozy spot to sit, and read with friends! The club is for ages 8 and older.
Reading Buddies
Learning to read? Make new friends and practice your reading at the library. At 3 p.m. on the fourth Saturday of the month, we’ll have young volunteers on hand to sit with and help beginning readers. Ages 6 and older.
