The library encourages children to keep reading all summer long by sharing age-appropriate book recommendations and hosting a summer full of events and programs at libraries across the state. This year’s themes…
- Dream Big READ! (children’s program)
- Own the Night (teen program)
- Between the Covers (adult program)
The children’s program, Dream Big READ!, invites kids to discover new ideas, people, and places through books. In programs at public libraries around the state, children will: SEE magicians, storytellers, puppeteers, artists, dancers, musicians, and poets; WIN prizes, including free admission to exciting places; TALK about your favorite books; and, MEET other kids. Explore the magic and mystery of night time all summer long.
