These special SummerQuest, Jr. programs are offered to pre-schoolers (ages 0 - 5)
this summer in addition to our regular storytimes (please see our monthly calendar). SummerQuest, Jr. sign-up begins on Monday, June 20

The sign-up for SummerQuest, Jr. is separate from the weekly pre-registration for our storytime programs. While those programs require weekly registration, you only need to sign up for SummerQuest, Jr. once. You are signing up to participate in the SummerQuest, Jr. Reading Program. Attendance at the special SummerQuest, Jr. programs is first come, first served; no registration is taken for the individual programs. Children will receive a reading log in which to list the books enjoyed, and they can get stickers at the library to place on their reading logs.

*Please Note: These programs are designed for ages 0 to 5, accompanied by an adult. Children ages 6 to 12 (first grade and up) may sign up for our regular SummerQuest program.

These special programs are made possible through a generous grant from
The James M. Duncan, Jr. Library Foundation, Inc.
