Every Hero Has a Story - Children's Summer Reading

Children will encounter heroes of all kinds - and discover their own inner hero - with this year's Every Hero Has a Story Summer Reading Program!

From firefighters to police officers, kids will get to meet heroes from their own community. We'll also have magic shows, crafts, activities and a chance to win neat prizes all summer long!

This year's program will last from June 1 to July 24.
