Summer Reading is going to happen virtually this year. Participants will sign up and record their books using a program called “Beanstack”. Beanstackwill not be available until June 20. When the library staff is trained in its use, I will share directions.

Summer reading performances will NOT be held at the school or gazebo this year, due to social distancing.
