Join us through the summer for programs and activities to support a love of reading and learning!

Kids, teens, and adults can earn prizes by reading in June and July!

Help kids stay engaged and prepare for a brighter tomorrow by reading 20 minutes per day. Explore a world of stories, and imagine your own with your local library! We proudly partner with Let's Read 20, Marion's local initiative, to continue reading and fun throughout the summer.
