“All Together Now!” continues…through July 31! This year’s theme invites you to explore the power of community through reading, activities, and programs. Summer Read is open to all ages. By joining in on the summer fun, you’ll earn tickets for prize drawings and have opportunities to connect with others. Paper Reading/Activity Logs will be available for children and teens when they register, and adults can enter to win prizes with every 3 books read. Remember, the more you read and the more programs you attend, the more tickets you get to enter for the prizes, so come on in and get the whole family registered and involved!

In 1968, Harry Nilsson released the album Aerial Bullet with a track titled One. In the lyrics, he wrote “one is the loneliest number you’ll ever do.” Harry Nilsson indicated he got the inspiration when he called a friend and got the busy signal going beep, beep, beep. Remember the days when you got a busy signal with no answering machines or voicemail available?
