It's almost summer and we are getting ready for our Summer Reading program!
Sign up for yourself or your entire family starting on May 1st at our website, www.wagnallslibrary.org. There is no cost to participate this year.
For adults and teens entering grade 6 and up, we will be holding weekly gift certificate drawings for participants. There will be two ways to get prize drawing entries. First, there will be a weekly scavenger-hunt type activity outside and/or inside the library. Complete the activity for an entry. Second, for each book you read, submit a brief book review on our website for an entry.
The Summer Reading program will run on June 23 - July 29. Weekly activities will be on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
