Get ready to roar! The Franklin County Public Library District’s Summer Reading Program “Unearth A Story,” begins on June 22 and will last through August 1.

We’re kicking off SRP sign-up day with Freddy Fossil’s Dino Show!

Join the legendary paleontologist Freddy Fossil for an exciting adventure where you can meet incredible life-sized dinosaurs that will leave you in awe. This interactive show blends the marvels of the ancient world with thrilling scientific principles. Immerse yourself in the magic of our prehistoric past in a way that’s both fun and educational.

Freddy Fossil will be at both libraries on June 22: Brookville Library at 10 a.m. and Laurel Library at 5 p.m.

Summer reading is free and open to all ages. You do not need to be a Franklin County resident or have a library card to participate in the reading challenge or any of our programs. When you sign up, you will receive a reading log to track your progress. Every 250 minutes you read will earn you a prize and four door prize tickets. At the end of summer reading, you will have read for 1,000 minutes!

Door prizes this year include books, toys, games, tickets to the Cincinnati Zoo, passes for skiing and tubing at Perfect North Slopes this winter, Kings Island tickets, and much more.

Happy reading!
