Orange County Library System’s Summer at Your Library is back and better than ever. From June 1 to July 26, enjoy fun for all ages with reading challenges, unique programming and more at your Windermere Branch.
Starting June 1, visit your library to grab this year’s official summer reading booklet and, thanks to the generosity of the Friends of the Orange County Library System, kids 18 and younger may pick up one free book, while supplies last. Reading a little every day goes a long way, and our reading challenge is focused on building a daily reading habit. Kids can track their reading over 30 days to complete the challenge and enter the prize drawing. Visit ocls.org/summer to learn more.
