Music, meetups, and more this May!

Thinking of May flowers, have you checked out the Seed Library yet? Open to all, you'll find it in the Children's Room - stop by and try something new for your yard or container garden.

This month brings music back to the library with a spring concert and more storytimes, in-person and virtual presentations & lectures. For a complete run down, see our event calendar, linked below.

Many of our events are generously sponsored by The Friends of the Reading Public Library. Next time you're at the library, stop by The Friends Book Sale Room!
