Adults participating in Summer Reading have additional chances to earn entries into the grand prize drawings by completing Activity Badges. One of those Badges is Explore Your Community, and an Activity you can do toward getting that badge is reading a book or watching a DVD on Local History.
The staff has put together a list of some of our local history items. The book you read or DVD you pick does not need to come from this list, but we compiled it so you have a place to start if you need help selecting something. Hopefully you can find something great to connect you to your community!
