As this year’s Summer Reading Program draws to a close, we would just like to say a heart-felt “Thank you” to everyone who helped to make this year such a wonderful success! 

We would especially like to thank all of our amazing volunteers and community sponsors:

  • The Village of Lisle
  • Senator Akshar and the BOOKS Program
  • The Discovery Center in Binghamton
  • Dominic’s Pizza in Whitney Point

We are so fortunate to be in such a supportive community, who care just as passionately as we do about providing children’s programming.  Thank you for another wonderful year, and we look forward to seeing what next year brings!
