Adult Summer Reading Club - 2023

What’s Cooking at the Garden City Library!

Join us for our Summer Reading Club in the Adult Services Area! It’s easy to sign up, come to the Reference desk, sign up, receive a sign-up bag, and you are on your way! Registration begins Monday, June 5, 2023.

Each time you read a book, we ask that you fill out a review card AND a recipe card (which is provided in your bag!) Our goal is to put together a menu of recipes at the end of the summer. Write down your favorite recipe or a family traditional recipe and bring it to the reference desk. At the end of the summer, we will select review cards randomly and award prizes! The more you read, the better chance you have of winning.

We are planning some fun programs and look forward to seeing you for the Summer Reading Club!
