Kick-Off Parties are Back!
We are so excited that we can come back together to celebrate the Summer Reading Program! Each branch will host a kick-off party this year. Drop-in at one of the branches on these dates: LaGrange May 31st 6-8pm, Goshen June 4th 4-6pm and Crestwood June 6th 4-6pm. These are always fun for the community to enjoy activities, crafts and maybe pet a furry friend or two.

Get a stack of books and start reading. The summer reading program is for all ages, so come on Mom and Dad – get reading too! There’s a program for everyone whether you enjoy crafts, art, book clubs, science, cooking and more! Some of the programs require registration and will fill up fast, so take a close look at the calendar. Many outdoor spaces at the branches and surrounding communities will be used this summer, too! The OCPL on-the-go program will go to places like The Maples Park, South Oldham Fire Department and Alley Loop in LaGrange.

Take More Than Books Home
We have a great public library in Oldham County. This summer, add some additional learning to your day, by checking out other educational materials like the M.I.L.K. Crate or attending a workshop day. Of course, there are books on cds for your summer road trips or DVDs for your rainy days or outdoor movies. We love using the Libby app for audiobooks.
Visit your local branch or reserve some books online today. Get started reading and learning early!
