It’s been an amazing summer full of reading, community events, and enjoying time together and alone! We couldn’t be more thankful for our library patrons, visiting us at GVL Express, attending our Read-A-Palooza Kick-Off, participating in our reading challenges, and attending library performances and programs.
While Read-A-Palooza has wrapped up, we encourage you to continue your reading habit with us. We hope you enjoyed it so far and have a wonderful August, relaxing before schools are back in session.
