🦖 ANNOUNCEMENTS: Summer Reading is Coming to a Close! 🦖

There's still time to finish strong!

The LAST day to log your reading and spin the prize wheel is Monday, July 20, before the library closes at 8:00 PM.
We apologize for any confusion, as there have been two different end dates shared. To confirm, we are using the extended deadline, so you still have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to log your reading and earn one more spin!

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will be our last 12:30 PM family friendly programs for the summer. Don't forget to come out!

🎉 Don't forget our Summer Reading Finale Party!
Join us to:
🏅 Pick up your reading certificate
🎁 Receive a goodie bag (while supplies last, then prizes will come from the treasure chest)
🌟 Celebrate as we announce our top readers!
🎨 Enjoy a variety of activity stations with crafts, games, challenges, and hands-on fun.

☀️ Weather Update: Due to the unpredictable summer weather, we will not have the water slide or bounce house this year. If the weather cooperates, we'll still have a small Splash Zone for anyone who wants to cool off!

Thank you to everyone who has helped make Unearth a Story such an incredible Summer Reading Program including our weekly sponsors: The Kiwanis Club of Athens and Joseph Ladner - Financial Advisor with Edward Jones.

We can't wait to celebrate with you one last time!
