In 10 days, nearly 700 children, 200 adults and about 75 teens have already signed up for our summer reading program, but there’s always room for more.
This year’s summer reading program is dedicated to science. So when the library held its kickoff party Saturday, we invited the COSI to participate too.
COSI brought science kiosks that allowed kids to perform small experiments and games that taught the kids about magnetism, friction, air pressure, kinetic energy and more.

The library will host fun programs—many dedicated to science—all summer.
We'll be having Mad Science Mondays where children can perform hands-on experiments and make crafts using different themes each week. We're also hosting Trashy Tuesdays every other week where kids can make fun crafts using recycled supplies.

Teens will have Weird Science Wednesdays throughout June that feature experiments with photography and weather.
Everyone who participates in our summer reading programs—either by reading and/or attending library programs—has a chance to win prizes. Grand prizes include a $100 gift card from Toys ‘R’ Us for kids and Nook eReaders for teens and adults. The more someone reads, the better chance they have of winning something.
If you want to sign up for summer reading, you can register for it at any of our branches.
