Read. Renew. Repeat. The 2024 theme for Summer Reading encourages individuals and communities to be more sustainable - either by using the Library and sharing resources or by recycling goods rather than throwing them away.
Kickoff a summer of fun at the Library! Make your own button from recycled books, show off at the Family Dance Party, follow the map and read along the Book Walk, and find clues for a prize during the scavenger hunt. Meet Sioux City Explorers mascot, Slider! Plus, pick up your Summer Reading Starter Pack and sign up on the Beanstack App.
