Will the Summer Library Program be affected by the pandemic?

FAQ: Will the Summer Library Program be affected by the pandemic?

Answer:

The 2021 Summer Library Program is still being planned. Please watch www.mcpl.us/slp for updates around April 2021.

In the interest of patron and staff safety, there were a number of changes to SLP in 2020:

  • We developed activities for all ages that enable social distancing, including virtual events, off-site events and "grab and go" options. 

  • Large group events were canceled for the summer.

  • Summer Reading Club was discontinued to better allow for social distancing. We encouraged all children to read 20-30 minutes a day on their own or with a parent / caregiver.
