Explore Oceans of Possibilities with the Summer Reading Program! Sign up to read (or be read to) for at least 10 minutes a day. You will get an octopus or shark to move around the Octopus’s Garden on our bulletin board, as well as other goodies. Each week you do your reading, come back to the library, show us you did your reading, and receive a prize! Our octopus pal Mauricio will be traveling around the Town of Gates. Find him each week and fill out a raffle ticket at the library for a chance to win another prize! This program is for children ages birth to 12.
