Participants can register beginning June 8 through the library’s Beanstack portal or at their local branch library.
“This year’s Summer Reading Program invites the community to surf into stories, explore new horizons and ‘seas’ the day through reading and learning,” said County Librarian Melanie Orosco. “Whether you’re flipping pages by the pool or diving into a new genre, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.”
Throughout the summer, library branches will host a wave of free events and educational entertainment, including:
- Live performances and interactive shows
- Family storytimes and themed programs
- Teen and adult engagement events
