Summer Celebration is a summer reading program provided by WCPL. It’s purpose is to engage individuals & families in activities all summer long! The goal is to prevent the “educational slide” that can occur in school-aged children during breaks. We also strive to promote community engagement and familial bonding through interactive programs provided throughout the months of June and July, beginning with our amazing kick-off concert on June 3!

Join in on the fun by going to our calendar for a list of programs!
