Kids Programming & Activities

The 2026 summer reading theme is "Unearth a Story" that emphasizes discovery with dinosaurs, nature and more. Programs are designed for kids — as well as adults — to encourage reading through fun activities.

The BRAILLE/PRINT book, That's Not My Dinosaur, will be part of many "WonderBox" giveaways available to NLS patrons. Information on ordering a "WonderBox" coming soon!

Adult Programming & Activities

Inspired by the Unearth a Story summer reading theme, stories are everywhere — embedded in landscapes, preserved in archives, carried through families and reflected in individual lives.
