Support Summer Reading!

The summer reading theme for this year is “Reading Colors Your World,” and with your help, we can brighten the lives of West Bend library users of all ages. We’re planning all kinds of fun, grab-and-go take-home activities for all ages. This is where you come in: we hope to be able to offer prizes to the winners of our various contests, and the cost of providing take-home activities and crafts adds up. A donation of any amount can help offset those costs, and will go a long way toward supporting West Bend area youth and families in their pursuit of literacy, education, and even joy. If you can help us spread a little sunshine, we’d be very grateful. If you would like to donate, let us know!

The June book is Grumpy Bird by Jeremy Tankard.
