Summer Reads kicked-off on Friday, May 29th, and
it will end on Friday, July 24th.
If you have kids, you want to check out all of the great programs that
will take place during these eight weeks. There is something for everyone and
prizes to be won for those aged 0-17 in the Reader Zone app. The more you read,
the more you can win.
We have programs for adults this summer, too. FYI programs in June, July and August are lined
up with Betty Bolté, Jetaun Bailey, and Becky Alexander. We are planning an
interactive program on Wednesday, July 8th, to celebrate the 250th
anniversary of the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence, and
of course we are going to host Book Club each month. Mark your calendars and plan
to join us in the library (we have air conditioning now) for fun and
educational programs this summer.
On March 16th of this year, we added The New York
Times to our online resources. If you haven’t tried using it yet, you should.
There is a lot to discover, from news, recipes, sports, to great games. And it
is all free with your DPL card. Go to https://mydpl.org/nyt/
to find out what is available and how to access it from the library or your
home.
Summer of 2026 has 7 extra days this year due to where
Memorial Day and Labor Day fall on the calendar. That’s an extra week to enjoy
the season of sunshine and relaxation while reading. To celebrate this bonus
week, the June task is read a book set during summer.
Happy Reading!
