Build a Better World! 
This summer, we’re exploring the world through reading, creating, connecting, and building! The core of the Summer Reading Program is, of course, books. Adults, teens, and kids can all read for a chance to win prizes.There are also many great events this summer! We’re going to be busy as we take the “Build a Better World” theme in many different directions: architecture, construction, creative arts, community service, volunteer work, physical exercise/play, and more. Join in on the fun this summer! There’s something for everyone. Registration begins next Tuesday, May 30. After registering online, stop by the Library to pick up your free ticket to the Kick-Off Pool Party at the Juniper Hill Aquatic Center on June 15 or 16.

Food for Fines! 
Maybe you kept that DVD a few more days than you were supposed to. Don’t worry – it happens to the best of us! Good news, though: this summer, during the month of June, you can pay off any overdue charges on your library account with non-perishable food items and pet supplies. Each item will equal $1 in payment towards overdue fines (does not apply to lost charges or collection fees). Accepted food items, such as canned goods, peanut butter, pasta, oatmeal, crackers, etc, must be non-expired, in non-glass containers, and in their complete, original packaging. Food items will be collected for the family event Pack the Pantry and will go to the Emergency Community Food Pantry of Franklin County. Pet supplies, such as dog/cat food, cat litter, and animal treats, will be collected for the teen event Go Fetch and will go to the Franklin County Humane Society. If you do not have overdue charges (that’s great!), you are welcome to make a donation of non-perishable food items and pet supplies for these wonderful community organizations. Together, let’s Build a Better World!
