Kick your summer off right with Summer Reading Kick Off.  We will have Summer Reading swag while it lasts, games, crafts, and a whole lot of fun as well as help setting up Read Squared our reading tracking software. This summer the challenge is to read 2000 hours collectively so we can adopt an Emu and Slow Loris through the World Wildlife Fund. We are planning on using our side yard, but if the weather doesn't cooperate we can move inside so this event is rain or shine.  https://abingtonpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/summer-reading-kick-off/
