Summer Reading Around Cranston-Kent RI

By Joyce Campbell, Macaroni KID Cranston-Kent RI Publisher June 22, 2024

Summer is here, and our local libraries have a lot to offer us!  
Regular reading keeps the mind active and engaged, preventing the loss of knowledge and skills acquired during the school year.  


Libraries are also a great way to beat the heat during the Summer months!  
See what your local library is up to this Summer!!
Summer Reading programs are noted with the ☀️📚 icons for easy locating in our events calendar!


Please contact your local library for full details.
We will update as information comes in.
