Tell Us What You Thought About Summer @ Your Library

Summer @ Your Library 2023

This annual program promotes year-round learning by encouraging students to read as many books as they can and attend educational library events between June 1 and August 31. As part of the quest/challenge, participants may track their progress for the opportunity to win prizes.  

With the theme “All Together Now,” this year's program also promotes kindness within our communities. AACPL is proud to partner with Kindness Grows Here to share stories from kids in our county who foster kindness and friendship every day.
