Summer Reading Programs at Lebanon County Libraries

May 27, 2015
It's a bird, it's a plane... it's a super hero! Coming to the Lebanon County libraries this summer as part of its Every Hero Has a Story FREE summer reading program. Each of the six county libraries will host FREE weekly family programming inviting you to learn about real-life heroes in history, our local community, and super heroes in your favorite story. 

Your Mini Macaronis from preschoolers through teens are invited to register for the summer reading program! Each child will receive a folder to record the books they read this summer and other activities. Many of the libraries host a special party at the end of the summer for children who complete the program.
