Saturday, May 23-Friday, July 31

Summer reading time is here! This year’s iREAD 2026 theme is “Plant a Seed, Read!” an all ages summer reading program based on the connection between food and stories. 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.
