Summer Reading

Our 2024 Summer Reading theme is “Adventure Begins at Your Library!” Sign up begins Saturday, June 1. 

We look forward to welcoming new and returning presenters this year! 

Our programs will mainly be held outside in Locust Street Park Gazebo, with a few taking place at Columbia Crossing and Park Elementary School Gym. Please visit our calendar tab for more information. For outdoor programs, please bring a blanket or chair with you. 

Please email info@columbiapubliclibrary.org for more information or with any questions. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to D.H. Funk Excavating & Commerce Bank for paying for these summer programs through the EITC program.
