As you make your way through our Summer Reading Challenge this summer, you have the opportunity to help a local charity! At the end of the summer, the library will donate funds raised by staff to a local charity of your choosing. When you register, get halfway, and complete the challenge, you will get a token to serve as your vote.
Want to contribute more than just a vote? The Reference Desks in the Library will also have Penny Wars going on all summer! Drop a penny in to vote on the current matchup shown, or drop any other denomination in to sabotage the other choice! Will Elephant and Piggie beat out Dog Man? Will Stephen King reign supreme over Danielle Steele? You choose with our Penny Wars, and donate to charity at the same time!
