St. Thomas Public Library

Some highlights from our TD Summer Reading Club Launch Party! We loved seeing everyone exploring books and earning their first prize ballots just for chatting with us about reading.

If you missed the party, don't worry! You can sign up for free anytime this summer. Just drop by the library, or register at the library van if you see us around town.

Once you're signed up, simply tell us about what you're reading to enter our weekly prize draws. It doesn't even have to be a library book, though we're always happy to help you find your next great read! 📚🎉🚌✨
