The Tulare
County Library will be busy during Summer 2017!
Below is a summary of events by Branch. Please contact the branch for any questions
about programs or times.
Our Summer
Reading Program is Reading by Design! Children ages 3 and over sign up with a
parent or guardian, receive a reading log, and fill it in each day they read. No
matter your reading level or interests, reading for fun or learning is all that
is required. In addition to the reading
program, branches also offer special events sure to please every age
group. Just a reminder, children under 8
must be accompanied by an adult and should not be left unattended. Registration is not required for
