Summer Celebration
Summer Learning Program
Join us for the library’s Summer Celebration, the perfect ending of our Adventure Begins at Your Library Summer Learning Program! Hear music from two musicians, Cory McAtee (12:30PM) and Chris Sand (2PM) and get your dance on. Get ready for a day filled with live music, engaging activities, and boundless fun for all ages. The live music from these local musicians and the array of interactive activities are bound to a blast of a time. Help us celebrate this summer filled with adventure, learning, and fun!
