Those who have completed the reading requirements for the summer reading program may pick up their certificates and prizes at that time. At 7:30 pm the drawings will be held to determine the winners of the teen and adult gift baskets. If you are unable to attend that day, your prizes may be picked up at the Library any time after that.
