Individuals with special needs have the option of participating in our Adaptive Summer Reading Program.  The Adaptive program recognizes the spectrum of ways individuals engage with reading, whether through reading traditional text, being read to, or simply enjoying visual elements of printed media.  In addition to focusing on literacy, the Adaptive program also focuses on wellness activities for physical and social engagement. 

To participate, simply pick up an Adaptive program paper reading tracker at the Main Service Desk at the Library.  Instructions for participation are on the reading log.
