We are participating in the National Year of Reading and have a range of special programs planned throughout the year. You can keep up with all of our local events and meet our National Year of Reading Ambassadors through our blog.
The Love2read website has more information about the National Year of Reading and programs on the national level. Each month has a reading theme to explore.
November's theme is "Cry" and we've selected some great tear jerkers for you!
