Get your summer started right at Barr Library! 

Summer is just around the corner, and what better way to get ready than by joining the summer reading program at Barr Memorial Library. From June 1 through July 22 the summer reading program will provide a fun and engaging learning experience. From hands-on activities to performances, you'll have access to everything you need this summer. 

There are two summer reading programs for your youth to become a part of. We have our Find Your Voice for ages 0-11 years old and Find Your Voice for teens 12 to 18 years old.

Log your reading hours on barrmemorial.beanstack.org, once you reach 10 hours of logged reading time, you'll win a prize bag! Be sure to enter weekly and grand prize drawings when you pick up your summer reading prize bag. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for other programs and information.
