Northwestern Regional
Library Happenings
Reading
is a family affair. A fun way to include reading and related activities
into summer family time is through the Summer Reading Program.
The Northwestern Regional Library system would like to invite
everyone to be creative and express yourself this summer at your
local library. This year’s themes, Be Creative @ Your Library
and Express Yourself @ Your Library, will explore the worlds of
art, music, dance, reading, writing, theater, and much more. Lots
of fun-filled activities and programs are scheduled so stop by
your local library and pick up a Summer Reading Program events
flyer and come imagine, create, and participate! All activities
are free and open to the public.
All Libraries and the
Regional office will be closed July 3rd and 4th to celebrate Independence
Day. We hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday.
