Avon Grove Library invites you to participate in our 2024 Summer Reading Program, which includes reading, activities, programs, and prizes for all ages, from birth through adults. This year's theme for Summer Reading is
​Adventure Begins at Your Library, which focuses on community, kindness, and friendship. 
 
We will have some books on display in the library focused on this year's theme. In addition to print books and magazines, eBooks, eMagazines, and eAudiobooks, are also welcomed and encouraged for reading. Download the Libby app to your device and use your library card to access those digital resources.

Elementary

​Avon Grove Library is again offering the Patch Power program for kids in grades K-5! Elementary students can collect all 8 patches, one per week, each with a different theme. Each patch is earned by completing three activities on the Patch card. We will offer a weekly library program centered on that week's patch and theme for those interested. Attending the program counts as one of the three activities required to earn that patch. Patch themes include:

• Mythic Hero
• Zookeeper
• Plundering Pirates
  
• Crafty Creator
  
• ...and more!

Participants will receive a clip to hold their patches and, at the end of the summer, will receive a banner or a tote bag to display their patches.
