During the summer, children and teens have learned to expect an extra helping of everything CRRL typically offers: Summer reading with prizes, special events, scavenger hunts, and grab and go activities, just to name a few.
In addition to browsing the library's collection, children and teens can also find a nutritious lunch at our branches. Free nutritious lunches are available for anyone 18 and under.
