That's a wrap on the 2026 Summer Learning Program!
Don't forget to turn in your completed learning goal bookmarks (kids and teens) and challenge cards (adults) by this Saturday, August 8th.
Prize winners will be announced next week.
We are excited to announce that we have received a grant from the Lillian E. and Earl A. Bettinger Charitable Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation to bring a community read series to you this year!
Our first author talk and book signing will be with Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle, whose novel Even As We Breathe was the first published by an enrolled citizen of the Eastern Band of Cherokee. The first 50 people to register and arrive at the event will receive a free copy of the book! We will also have a discussion of her book in October.
