What an amazing SummerQuest 2024 program! Throughout June and July, we welcomed adults, teens, and kids to join in the fun of our free, summer learning program. We had over 650 participants this year, our highest participation ever!

Our theme, Adventure Begins at Your Library, provided the opportunity to host a variety of exciting programs. We had animal adventures with goats and alpacas, outdoor adventures with visiting organizations, live music on the patio, crafting for all ages, cooking and travel programs, and so much more. There was something for everyone!

We challenged the participants to log their summer reading to reach a Community Goal of 50,000 minutes. Wow! Did our community rise to the challenge by tripling that goal and reading for 150,000 total minutes!


We express our sincere thanks to all of the partners, sponsors, presenters, and guests for their generous contributions that helped to make SummerQuest 2024 such a huge success. Your time, talent, support, and donations helped us to provide weeks of high quality programming to the community.
