The Innisfil ideaLAB & Library is inviting residents of all ages to take part in a variety of reading programs, performances and community events throughout the summer.
The library’s summer programming includes the return of the TD Summer Reading Club, family entertainment, outdoor storytimes, community events and opportunities for residents to provide feedback on the library’s future. It runs until August 29th, encouraging children to track their reading throughout the summer for a chance to win prizes. Participants can pick up a reading notebook at the library or register online.
Several special events are also planned, including:
