Summer Reading Program



Henry County Library System has a free program done to encourage children to read 20 books or more. This year all the HCLS branches are giving certificates and a free book for completing the summer reading program. Sign-ups are May 29th – June 28th and completion prizes are given out July 2nd-August 2nd.

Each branch will be offering FREE programs for the kids and it is open to all ages on a first come, first serve basis. Kids going into middle school have the option of signing up one last year under the children’s program or signing up under the young adult status. YA is geared towards 6th-12th graders.
