Teen Summer Reading Program

Summer is here! Be sure to sign up for the Library's Summer Reading Program. The theme for the teen program is "Make Waves @ Your Library". We have lots of cool prizes that you can win...the more you read, the more tickets you receive! Sign up at the circulation desk in both Cicero & Atlanta.

We'll also have great movies every other Friday night, outside at the Pavilion behind the Cicero library. The movies start at 9:30 PM and the popcorn is free!

The summer reading program ends with a Pool Party on Friday, July 23rd from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at the Red Bridge Park Pool in Cicero. If you complete all 3 levels of the program, you'll get your admission ticket to the party.

Happy Reading!!
