Our Outreach team and the Bookmobile are heading to the parks this summer to bring you the fun! Join us on Wednesdays at Central Park (behind Annerino) and at a different park each Friday. Remember, attending an event, exploring the Bookmobile and visiting a park each count as one point toward your Summer Adventure—that’s three points each time you visit us! Looking for even more fun this summer? Enjoy our community storytimes or say hi when you see us at community events.
