Summer Reading Is For Everyone!

Catch the Reading Bug! I belong to the summer reading club. It's great! No matter what your age or what genre you enjoy reading, sign up today. Let's show the rest of Pennsylvania that Franklin County can read more books! If you register to read, and keep your record, you can win prizes while enjoying any book you want.

For teens and children, there are many exciting activities. Check the event calendar on our main webpage or visit the children's or teen's page of your closest library for details. Metamorphasize your life @ the library to fill those lazy days of summer or vacation.

Parents, did you know that participation in library reading and activities during the summer is the best way to keep your children's minds stimulated and ready to begin the next year of school? Some families have even discovered that the fun atmosphere of summer reading clubs in public libraries create a fresh love of reading in students who struggle during the school year. Encourage your child's participation by signing up yourself. Families who read together, learn together! Catch the Reading Bug, Together! You will never regret it.
