Our Summer Reading Program is Coming!
Libraries throughout Pinal County are gearing up for this year's Summer Reading Program! It starts in June at most of our libraries, and the theme this summer is "Oceans of Possibilities."
Each library runs their Summer Reading Program a little bit differently, so be sure to check with your local library to see when to sign up, when to track your reading, and when to pick up your prizes!
