Summer at Celina Public Library
Summer Reading Challenge is in full-swing with monthly programming to keep the community engaged: from babies to adults!
We’re full of fun over at the Library! We encourage you to stop in for Pokemon Trading Days, join our adult book club and bring your little one for fun-filled Fridays. Our fun doesn’t stop at the Library! Take your love of reading to Old Celina Park and stroll through Storybook Trail where a story unfolds as you move along the path. There’s always something new to do and read at the Library, too! We welcome new books regularly, and did you know if we don’t have it, you can request it? We look forward to seeing you at the Library!

JULY’S READ
As the Great War spreads—bringing wounded soldiers, news of death, and increasing uncertainty to Yorkshire—Mary is forced to reckon with decisions she isn’t ready to make. And she can only hope that the mysterious magic of the garden that brought them all together once before reaches far enough to preserve the home and family that she waited so long to find.
AUGUST'S READ
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.
