Deputy Director Kendra Jones said, "It is important to remember that children who see the adults in their lives reading are more likely to be motivated to read themselves."
Jones added, "Sign up for the online program and let a child catch you reading this summer!"
Now is a great time to plan your summer activities. While things may look different right now, the library is still here for you, even while our buildings are closed.
