Children of all ages are welcome to participate in our reading log program! Children choose their reading goal each week, and when they reach their goal they earn a prize!
 

Reading Logs can not be checked 30 minutes before or after special events.

Children ages 7-11 have a choice to participate with reading logs or with our BookFlix program! Sign-up is required.

Join one of the Children’s Room summer book groups! You will receive a book to read for each session, then come back to watch the movie adaptation of each book!
