In the last week of our summer reading adventures, we encourage you to explore an endangered and precious global institution of reading, knowledge, cultural preservation, and community connection – your local library!

Check out what is happening at your local public library. There may be interesting events, virtual tours, classes, new books to read, and who knows what else! Let us know what you discover.
