Beginning Saturday, June 14, library patrons of all ages will begin participating in Durham County Library’s annual Summer Reading program.

Patrons are invited to stop by any Durham County Library location from June 14 through August 2 to pick up a paper reading log. Signup and completion prizes will be available while supplies last. Summer Reading is made possible by the generous support of the Durham Library Foundation and the Friends of the Durham Library.
