School's out! Time for summer reading! Come to the Summer Reading Registration Party on June 26th to find out all about this year's program. We have a new Warwick Children's Book Festival Teen Committee, another Minecraft Challenge, lots of volunteer opportunities, and a host of new ways to win the Unmask Reading Challenge this summer. Stick around after registering to play some Just Dance and make your own sundae. See you there?
On a sad note (but completely congratulatory) I have to say goodbye to some of my favorite seniors who have volunteered and participated in library programs over the past few years. Kayleigh, Narciscus, Jen, Silvana, Lily, Melanie, Jordan, and so many more of you... I will miss all of you. Good luck in all you do!
Happy reading and writing,
Dianne
