You’re invited to our 2024 Summer Learning program! This year, we will explore conservation with the theme, “Read, Renew, Repeat!” Conservation is all about protecting our planet’s amazing creatures, restoring their homes, and keeping our environment healthy. We’ll not only learn about the wonders of nature but also discover how reading can be the most powerful tool for learning about the world all around us, along with just having a fun time with events and activities!
We will have tons of free in-person programs for kids, teens, and adults including performers, book clubs, and more!
Summer Learning starts on Monday, June 4 and ends on Thursday, August 1.
