Summer is coming!

We're getting ready for a summer filled with great activities for kids, teens, and adults! Have you registered for Summer Reading yet? If not, sign up now on Beanstack and start working on your reading list. Find your voice this summer and win prizes along the way!

What do we mean by, "Find Your Voice"? We use our voices every day to share stories, express ourselves, and to spark change. Our voices aren't only the sounds we make, but the words we write, the art we create, the movements we perform, and the actions we take that impact our world. This summer, we encourage you to express yourself and to explore all the ways that make you feel heard!
