Sponsored by the Friends of the Franklin County Public Libraries, the Summer Reading Program features imaginative activities for all ages. All library programs are free with all materials provided and open to the public with no library card required.

This year’s Summer Reading Program theme, “Color Our World,” highlights art and creativity at the Franklin County Public Libraries. The program is designed to inspire and engage readers of all ages through a variety of artistic expressions. Guests are invited to celebrate every page, paint stroke, and performance that adds a little more color to the world.

Summer Reading is an annual program that brings children, teens, and families to local public libraries for reading and activities. A Summer Reading Program:

• encourages lifelong reading habits,
• supports reluctant readers with activities,
• helps children maintain their skills over the summer,
• generates interest in the library and books, and it being summer,
• can just be good fun and provide an opportunity for family time.

The Summer Reading Program is sponsored by the Friends of the Franklin County Public Libraries, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports the Franklin County Public Libraries in Eastpoint and Carrabelle, FL. The Carrabelle Branch is located at 311 St. James Ave. SE (Hwy 98), Carrabelle, (850) 275-9895. For details, go to https://friendsfcpl.com/summer-reading-program/ .
