Announcing this year’s Adult Summer Reading program! This year we are doing something a little different, and have organized a Summertime Community Read. Now is a great time to come together as a community through a shared reading experience. The chosen title is The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez. The “Read” begins July 7th. Order your copy for curbside pickup (we have multiple copies!), or download the e-book or e-audiobook via Overdrive. A book discussion group will take place in September (stay tuned!). Please join us as we come together through literature!
