Participation in this drop-in event counts towards the Library’s Summer Reading program.

The 2024 Summer Reading program at Lewiston Public Library runs from Monday, June 24th until Friday, August 17th with the theme of Read, Make, and Explore.

We are encouraging participants not only to read or listen to books but also make a new craft or recipe or explore a favorite place in our beautiful city or a new landmark in our wondrous state.
