Summer Reading Program 2023

June 5th - July 23rd

The Summer Reading Program is designed to encourage and develop the habit of reading and help children retain their reading levels during their summer break. But this isn't just for kids. Readers of all ages are invited to participate! Each age group (Children, Teens, and Adults) will have a summer reading goal. Are you up for the challenge?

Make sure to pick up a calendar during the Summer Reading Kick-off on June 2nd! We will have crafts, storytimes, special guests, museum visits, and much more at the library this summer!

World Turtle Day

Dr. Andy Coleman of the Urban Turtle Project will bring several species of Alabama native turtles. This fun event for all ages will be held outdoors under the oak tree in front of the Library (or in the auditorium if we have inclement weather). Bring your lawn chairs and blankets.

TEENS PROGRAM

Summer Reading Volunteers Needed

Summer is our busiest time and there are plenty of options for teens to volunteer. However, space is limited and based on a first come first serve basis. Volunteers will primarily be helping families check in at the Summer Reading table by using a computer. This is a great volunteer opportunity for teens that work well with the public without tons of supervision. 

If you are interested in volunteering at the Trussville Library during the 2023 Summer Reading Program please fill out the application form. The Teen Librarian will reach out to everyone interested with dates for volunteer training meetings. 

Please note volunteers MUST be going into the 8th grade in the fall of 2023.

ADULT PROGRAM

6:00 pm | LBK Auditorium
