Welcome
to Summer Reading!
This year’s program includes special appearances and events including a magician, a storyteller and — you’ve been waiting all these years — the return of The Snake Man with Penelope the Python. Meanwhile, kids will be invited to enroll in the Summer Reading Club, earning small awards and prizes as they pile up reading accomplishments.
