Plant a Seed, Read is rooted in the concept of farm-to-table. A farm grows food that nourishes our bodies; a library grows ideas that nourish our minds. Both food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy, and ecology. iREAD 2026: Plant a Seed, Read will provide a context for exploring culture, history, science, health, and human connection.
Our goal will be to share our love of reading, develop positive attitudes about reading, and encourage regular use of the library and its services.
This year we will continue with our Story Time during our Summer Reading Program time. We have seen so many sad faces over the years because someone is just a little too young. Our Board of Trustee President and Preschool teacher, Jessica Hupke, will host our story time for those children that are preschool age and younger (Children must be accompanied by a guardian).
We will kick off our Summer Story Time Wednesday, June 10th at 9:30 AM in the Children’s Room. We will then have programs at the library from 9:30 – 10:30 AM every Wednesday during June and July. The programs last approximately one hour. (PS You are welcome to join us for the “Farm to Fork” program and family fun June 7th, and BAT program on June 9th – see above).
