Summer Reading Challenges
Pair your love of reading with a love for the world we live in this summer! There is a movement to be mindful about our use of natural resources as we live day to day. At the library, we have the opportunity to READ as many books as we please, RENEW not only the books we check out but also renew our minds with knowledge and fresh ideas, and REPEAT over and over!
Get started at EPL as you read books to earn cool prizes! There is a challenge for every age. Click to learn more!
