2017 Summer Reading Program

Public libraries throughout Oklahoma are the place to go for a reading adventure during the summer months.  Every summer public libraries become the focal point for many children and teens looking for programs and activities to fill their free summer days. Books can take us anywhere in the universe using our most precious vehicle… Imagination.
