Sign-up for these programs will start June 16th so that we will know how many to plan for. Crafty Bugs will run for 6 weeks.

Independent Reading

We will have reading logs to record your reading. For every 100 minutes you read we will put a bug in your jar. After you read 300 minutes you will be able to pick out a book to keep.

Fun from last year

To get in the mood for this year's exciting Summer Children's Programs take a look at all the fun things we did last summer!
