July is here, and the Summer Reading Challenge is in full swing! If you haven’t signed up yet, be sure to stop by and pick up your Reading Records before all the best prizes are gone!

Whether you’re spending the summer traveling or at home, we’ve got the books for you. Check out our display of summer reads for the whole family, or ask our knowledgeable staff for recommendations. We’ll help you find the perfect book for the beach, the couch, the plane, or your lunch hour. And if you’re looking for the perfect gift, we’ve got ideas about that too.

We have some amazing authors coming this month. Emily and Janelle will talk about sustainable living, Stan Goldberg will talk about living life to the fullest, and Heather Barbieri has written a novel about leaving your life behind. And don’t miss our Young Adult Author Night at the midpoint of the Summer Reading Challenge!
