Educational Summer Camp

We are excited to offer a Literacy and Math Summer Camp for kindergarten through 5th-grade students! This two-week program is designed to reinforce and extend learning through engaging, hands-on activities in literacy and math. Breakfast and lunch will be provided daily; transportation is available if needed. If you would like your child to attend, please complete the ParentSquare form by clicking here.

Car Rider Alternate Pickup Location

Due to the school district hosting the baseball and softball regional tournament, we will use an alternate car rider pickup location on Thursday, May 8, and Friday, May 9, afternoons. To help things run smoothly, please refer to the map attached to the newsletter for the updated pickup route and location.

Both libraries offer a wide range of free programs for children and families—including storytimes, crafts, and special events, something exciting planned for each week. Check out the calendar of events included in this newsletter for dates, times, and details about each program! Don't miss a summer of imagination and discovery at your local library!
