Summer Programs are here!
Discover new ways to play and connect with Whats-In-The-Boxes! (hint: games, crafts, activities, reading challenges, and writing ideas)

Participate in our Miniature Art Show! Pick up a canvas at the library, decorate it at home, and bring it back for display.
Celebrate at the library with events all summer long!

Whats-In-The-Boxes
What’s a Whats-In-The-Box kit?
It’s a summer library program in an envelope! What’s in the box varies by week. But they will always include a reading challenge, a writing activity, an outdoor activity, a craft, and a game or puzzle. Each time a new one is released, it’ll have you wondering, “What’s in the box this time?”
