Canvas the possibilities with the All-Ages Warm-Up Challenge

Last spring, dozens of patrons completed the “Warm-Up Challenge”. Participants were asked to read about heroes and daring escapades, in conjunction with the 2024 Summer Reading Program (SRP) theme, Adventure begins at your library.

The Warm-Up Challenge is back and ready to embrace the 2025 Summer Ready Program theme, Color Our World. If you want to get into the artistic spirit before SRP, join us in this preliminary art-themed reading challenge from Monday, February 3rd to Monday, March 31.
