This year's Summer Reading Program is one for the (prehistoric) ages!
Every summer at the Lancaster Public Library, children, teens, and families “unearth” something new — a story, an idea, or a sense of what’s possible. Unearthing a Story, this year’s Summer Reading theme, draws on the spirit of discovery, while reflecting the Library’s role in helping young readers uncover endless possibilities.
Get ready to dig into your next great story this summer — June 6-August 15 ☀️📚
