DROP-IN event. Join KFPL for a reading party for a chance to catch up on your summer reading and crush your goals.

July 3rd Update: All free beverages have been claimed. Thank you for the first 50 people who registered! Anita's Coffee Cart will be selling beverages to all other attendees. When you arrive, please come to the front desk to pick up your ticket. Anita's Coffee Cart will be stationed in the parking lot near the gate to the Lions Civic Gardens.

We are bringing together the library's soft atmosphere, bookish conversation and community, live music, games and activities, and of course, coffee! Sign up for the Summer Reading Challenges, maximize your minutes and achieve activity badges - all of which earn you tickets to enter into some of the great prizes (including the Switch 2, a 58" TV, two local staycations, a KitchenAid Stand Mixer and more). Bring your friends and your coziest accessories (ex. outside blankets, comfy clothes, etc.), and join in on this opportunity to practice mindfulness, rebel against your screentime, and engage with others.

Read in the cool AC of the branch or enjoy the sun in the Lions Civic Gardens. At 2:00 p.m., pop into Books and Beans, our book club run by the New Adult Advisory Board, to discuss your summer reads.

Make the library your hangout spot this summer and enjoy this time to slow down, connect, and enjoy reading—together.
