 Join us as we celebrate the start of Summer Reading 2018! The theme for Summer Reading 2018 is Libraries Rock, and we plan to prove it on Saturday, June 2nd at 11:00am! Sign up for Summer Reading (children and teens will receive a sign-up goodie bag) and then have a blast! We'll have refreshments, music, games, prizes, and a variety of activities for all to enjoy. And when you've tired yourself out from partying, check out some books to take home and get a start on Summer Reading. This event and the Summer Reading program are free and open to all ages. So make sure you save the date and join the Library for a rockin' good time!

 The Summer Reading Program is about to begin, and adults, teens, and children are encouraged to join us this summer in spreading the word that Libraries Rock! Log your reading time each week and turn it in to win great prizes. Attend the programs scheduled for all ages, like Teen Life Hack Testing, Adult Presentation Pieces of my Life, Children's Lego Contest and More! Those who participate 6 weeks or more get a ticket to the Finale Swim Party at the Atchison YMCA! Go to http://www.atchisonlibrary.org/summer-reading.html to learn more!   Two great programs are going on this week. Tonight is Cafe Boheme and Thursday is Food Freaks--bring a Mexican dish to share with 10-15 people.  Have you been to the library lately? Have you noticed how nice and bright the Large Print and Adult Fiction area is now? The inefficient (and expensive) lights have been replaced with LED lighting. We could not have completed this project without the generosity of the Courtney S. Turner Charitable Trust, Bank of America, N. A., Trustee and a Destination Library Grant from NEKLS!
