Planning for the 2021 summer program at the Ankeny-Kirkendall Public Library is well underway.
The theme of the program this summer is “Reading Colors Your World. The Summer Reading Program will run from June 2-July 31 and is open to all ages. The Library will host two drive-thru pick up times for all you need to get started on June 2 from 4-7 pm and June 3 from 11 am – 1 pm. If you are unable to pick up your materials at these times, packets will be available inside the library beginning June 3 at 1 pm in the HOLDS area. Stay tuned for more details.
With the end of the school year looming ever closer, I felt this would be a great time to recommend parents (and their children) some great books to read throughout
