As we bid farewell to summer, we want to acknowledge our community partners for helping our Summer Quest program this year. Summer is a busy time for kids, and the library is a place for them to stay engaged with learning even as their time is less structured. Plus it’s fun! So kids enjoy learning with us.
Children’s programs at the library are free to kids and their families, but that doesn’t mean that they come without a cost. Our community partners recognize the importance of investing in our community and our youth. Without these partners, we could not provide such wonderful opportunities and incentives for our kids to read and learn all summer long.

| Applebee’s Grill + Bar | Maggies Italian Ice & Frozen Custard |
| Auntie Anne’s Pretzels | Maize Quest Fun Park |
