Our Summer Reading kickoff begins May 1st with the whimsical, “Tails and Tales” theme! We have information available for how to obtain merit badges for each of our three monthly themes that fall under the “Tails and Tales” umbrella. There will be a badge for Fairy Tales (May), Animal Stories (June), and Campfire Tales (July)! Each participant will receive a tote bag to attach the badges to once earned (if they’d like) and their choice of a new book! The new theme information will be released on Facebook at the beginning of each respective month during summer reading.

Stop in at the library and check our Facebook Page for further updates and information on how to obtain these merit badges.
