Teen Summer Library Challenge

This summer we are changing things up! Instead of just logging what you read, there will be 7 weeks of challenges. We will be challenging you this summer to read, engage with the library & community, take time to relax and of course, have fun! For every challenge you complete, we’ll reward you with library loot and delicious rewards! The more loot you get, the better your chances are at winning great prizes at the Summer Prize Auction on Thurs. Aug. 10th from 2 – 4pm!
