Summer Reading Program 2020

Summertime means a chance to explore new books and e-books, learn new skills, and check out resources, programs and activities through Summer Reading Challenges at the Lebanon Public Libraries. The 2020 summer reading slogan and theme is “Imagine Your Story,” a celebration of fairy tales, folklore, mythology, and sharing your own unique story and voice. This year, LPL will be offering a selection of exciting online and virtual programming – special events, reading challenges, fun activities, and more – throughout the summer months from July through August.
