Press Start to Read!! New for Summer 2025: This summer’s program will be divided into two “games”. Readers of all ages are encouraged to pick up their Game One Game Board as soon as possible on or after Tuesday, May 27. The clock is ticking for our community to beat last year’s high score of 608,415 minutes spent reading. Players must have their Game Boards in hand to start marking their progress through Reading Logs/Levels. All readers who pick up their materials between May 27 and May 31 will be entered in a drawing for prizes guaranteed to boost their reading all summer long!


Tween/Teen High Score Hangout

Tweens/teens entering grades 6 through 12 in Fall 2025 are invited to join our special “High Score Hangout” taking place Friday, June 6 from 6:00-8:00 pm. Players will enjoy 6 holes of glow-in-the-dark miniature golf, a Flipslide tournament, checkout by flashlight, and Plinko…all before refueling with a sundae bar! Please note: the library will close early at 4:00 pm to prepare for this event.
