Summer Reading 2024

Read, Renew, Repeat: Summer Reading 2024

Read, Renew, Repeat

June 19 - August 24

Join us as we read, learn about sustainable practices, the natural world and watch films that remind us to read, renew, and repeat. 

community reading goal

This year, we're working toward a community goal of 250,000 minutes read over the summer. If everyone in Cottage Grove reads for 20 minutes on 1 day, we'll meet our goal! In order to track the minutes read, we're using Beanstack again this year. Click here for more information about Beanstack.
