The Orange County Library System says summer reading and its Summer at Your Library events have drawn participants of all ages. Youth ages 0 to 18 have until July 26 to complete 30 days of reading, turn in the grand prize entry page from their reading tracker and pick up a free goody bag while supplies last. End of Summer Celebrations are set for July 20 to 25 at every library location, with activities and frozen treats.
The library also offers free classes for kids, teens and adults in areas including sewing, knitting, game design, 3D printing and cooking. Special programming during July will mark America 250 with hands-on art projects and history classes, and genealogy programming is available both in person and online.
Those interested in family history can visit the West Oaks Branch and Genealogy Center for free personalized research assistance and access to more than 30,000 genealogy books. Details on the reading challenge, summer events and celebrations are available at ocls.org/summer.
