The Montgomery County Memorial Library System’s upcoming summer reading program runs from June 1-July 25. The theme is “Unearth a Story,” and the library system will have free events and reading challenges as part of the program, according to a May 26 news release.
About the program
According to its website, the reading program is composed of two parts—self-paced reading and community events. The events are free and open to the public and will be available at all seven MCMLS locations for the eight-week program. Some of the events include magic shows, movie nights, bubble shows, scavenger hunts and more.
Those interested in reading can register their books on the library’s ReaderZone app and show their completion logs for rewards throughout the summer.
