Join us this summer as we explore Oceans of Possibilities through programs, books and activities at the Carrington City Library.
The 2022 Summer Reading Program is open to everyone with reading challenges from the littlest readers (toddler through preschool), Emerging Readers (entering grade K-2), Independent Readers (entering grades 3-6), Teens and Adults.
Readers who complete reading challenges will earn weekly incentives and entries in the grand prize drawings. Awards will be given to the top readers at each level.
