Kansas Reads to Preschoolers

Each year the State Library of Kansas and the Kansas Center for the Book select a book for the Kansas Reads to Preschoolers Week which is usually celebrated during the third week of November (2024 Nov 17-23).  The library typically will have the selection in our collection and will host a special story time for the event.

Teen Week

Each year, the Library celebrates books written just for teens during Teen Read Week.  Usually held in mid-October, teens are encouraged to vote for their favorite book and stop by the library during this week for special events.

Tween Week

A time to celebrate being in between – program and/or event geared to those kids who are in  5th and 6th grade. This event usually takes place the first week of December (2024 Dec 2-6).
