Summer Spotlight at the Library
June 8-August 10
Does your school end early this year? Summer Spotlight paper forms in the library and the online program are available now. And the Shakopee & New Prague libraries will be holding some events the first week of June.
 
SUMMER SPOTLIGHT, the library's summer reading program, offers a summer's worth of fun and enriching events and reading incentives for kids 0-18 years of age. Kids who engage in learning activities during the summer start their next school year ready to learn.
