Roar, Soar, Read: Summer Reading 2023

Hold on to your books! Dinosaurs are roaring, soaring and reading all summer long at the library.

Summer Reading is back starting Saturday, June 3 at the Campbell County Public Library! With the tagline Roar, Soar, Read, this year’s theme is all about dinosaurs.

Every branch will be packed with fun activities and giveaways this June and July. To make the most of your summer reading experience, check out the guide below. You can also pick up an official Summer Reading brochure at any branch.
