The Library invites readers of all ages to participate in the annual ONE READ shared community reading experience, September 1 - October 31. This event was made possible by the Friends of the Library.
Rebellion 1776 by Laurie Halse Anderson is a historical fiction adventure about a girl struggling to survive amid a smallpox epidemic, the public's fear of inoculation, and the seething Revolutionary War.
Alongside the reading event, join our Bookmark Your Branch challenge. Visit at least 8 different Library branches to collect and decorate themed bookmarks. You can track your progress in the Beanstack app. Those who complete the Bookmark Your Branch challenge will be entered for a chance to win a $25 Target gift card.
