Best of all, attendees can sign up for the Summer Reading Program on the spot and start their reading adventure that same day. Whether you're a T-Rex fan or more of a Brachiosaurus bookworm, there's something for everyone! The Summer Reading Program is open to all ages and all ages can win prizes.
So sign up and see what you can dig up this summer!
