Adult Summer Reading 2023

Summer reading isn’t just for kids!

Starting Tuesday, June 20, stop by the library to pick up your Summer Reading Bingo sheet! Get a BINGO by reading and doing various activities then return your sheet to the Main Desk by Friday, August 11. If you are extra ambitious, pick up a second BINGO sheet and do more reading and activities (limit 2 sheets). For every completed BINGO sheet, your name will be entered for a chance to win the Grand Summer Prize!

Looking for some reading guidance? This summer, check out a Staff Pick title. Rotating titles will be on display in the library, or request a title through the catalog!

This summer, Find Your Voice through exploring your family history! Take advantage of three virtual events that will help get you on track to do your own genealogical research:
