Summer Reading at the Guffey Library

The Guffey Library will offer Summer Reading programs for children based on the theme, “Be Creative @ Your Library.” Programs will be every Thursday afternoon during June and July from 2:00-4:00 P.M. Children from pre-school on up are invited.

We will start each day with a story time and crafts, enjoy a break for treats, then hear a program of special interest presented by community members. At the end, children will have time to find and check out books to read at home. Each child will be asked to keep a list of books read each week.

Registration forms are available at the library. Come and join us for fun, books, and prizes!
