Yesterday, we had the pleasure of celebrating the Rolla Public Library with a Ribbon Cutting to kick off their Summer Reading Program and welcome them as a member of the Rolla Chamber of Commerce.

This year's program is packed with opportunities for children and teens to learn, explore, and have fun through Dinosaur Discovery-themed activities, interactive programs, special performances, and exciting summer experiences. Beyond the fun, summer reading programs help encourage literacy, spark curiosity, and keep young minds engaged throughout the summer months.

We are grateful for the Rolla Public Library's commitment to providing educational and enriching opportunities for the youth in our community.

Congratulations on a successful kickoff, and we look forward to seeing another great summer of reading, learning, and discovery! 🦖📖☀️
