Express Yourself at your Library
School is done and summer has finally arrived. That means it's time for the 3rd annual Teen Summer Reading Program!
Teens are encouraged to read a book, complete a review form and put it in the bucket in the library. From June 8 through July 25, three winners will be drawn each Friday to win prizes generously donated by local businesses and the Friends of the Library. We've received gift certificates from Applebee's Restaurant, Village Bookstore, Brewed Awakenings, Ground Round, and Wal-Mart. The winning name for the grand prize, a PSP, will be drawn on Friday, July 24.
