The Summer Reading Program will end Saturday, July 23 with a Summer Reading Celebration for children and teens! The festivities will kick off at 10:00am with a puppet performance by Mel Hatch of MellyPop! Productions, followed by crafts, games, and treats from 10:45am to 2:00p. The puppet show is ideal for children ages 3 to 10, but all are welcome and no registration is necessary.
