Online Summer Learning

The library may not be open for programs, but we have fun activities to keep youth of all ages busy this summer. Watch the website for details about when we’ll distribute supplies you can use to complete STEAM projects at home and subscribe to our YouTube channel so you don’t miss storytimes and how-to videos. Be sure to sign up for the Summer Challenge. Earn a digital badge every time you enter a secret code you find hidden on these Summer Learning pages, read a book, or complete other fun challenges.
