Summer Reading Program Begins with a visit from Boots to Grasses!


On Monday, June 7th, we will kick off summer reading program with a visit from therapeutic horsemanship program Boots to Grasses!


Miss Laura, the program administrator, will be here, along with volunteer Miss Jennifer and two of their mini horses, Arrow and Dottie!


Join us on the library lawn at 1:00 pm to meet the mini horses and learn more about the program, such as how horses and horseback riding can help people, and see examples of tack and other horse-riding gear. There will even be a saddle on a stand available for photo opportunities! Please wear closed-toe shoes if possible, so you can get up close to the horses.


Summer reading challenge kits will also be available for pickup, along with other small prizes! We're so excited to see everyone!


More about SRP!


READING: Prizes can be earned based on how long you read, with a goal of 500 minutes. Reading logs can be picked up at the library. Our SRP program can also be done online this summer! Sign up for an account and keep track of what you read this summer. Links to each age group (kids, teens, and toddlers) will go live on June 7!
