SIGN UP AT THE LIBRARY JUNE 20-JULY 2
Join us for our Ocean of Possibilities Summer Reading Program for Readers of all ages. This year, participants will be divided into three groups: Seahorses, turtles, and starfish. From there on out, contestants will be beginning to read as much as possible for different prizes. Just by signing up, the reader is entered into a lottery to Gibson's Bookstore worth $25, $50, and $100!
The first 75 participants under 18 to read ten books will receive a free pass to Altitude Trampoline Park in Concord!
