The Lee County Libraries Summer Reading program is always a vibrant blend of stories and creativity! Celebrate summer with us from May 27th through August 29th. Our goal is to encourage ALL community members to show their love and support of reading each and every day throughout the year. During the summer months, you can participate in our engaging Incentive Program and other fun activities based on a yearly theme.

This year's theme is: Color Our World. Look for imagination, exploration, self-expression, connection, etc. related programs, videos and more throughout the summer. Remember, all ages are welcome to participate in the reading incentive, so be sure to sign up all of your family members, significant others and friends!
