The Algoma Public Library is excited to announce that our Summer Reading Program is ON!

Join us for our Kick-Off celebration for this year's Summer Reading Program by attending our online Read-aissance Festival!

The Festival will be held on Facebook Live and will include a very special storytime, craft, and fun, along with each librarian highlighting what our patrons can look forward to for digital and take-home programs for each age group.

We can't wait to see you at the Festival!
