Summer Reading Clubs are Back at Columbus Libraries

One of my favorite things to do in the summer is participate in summer reading clubs. They’re a great way to be intentional with our reading + you get fun prizes. We’e missed our libraries so much and even though storytimes aren’t back just yet, this feels like we’re getting a bit closer.
