This summer, Morton Memorial Library, Starr Library, Red Hook Public Library, Tivoli Free Library, and Clinton Community Library are teaming up to bring you a region-wide reading adventure!

Inspired by the theme “Unearth a Story,” this year’s program is a paleontology themed scavenger hunt challenge for all ages, combining reading, exploration, and community discovery.

Visit libraries, explore local businesses, attend events, and complete fun challenges to earn points and prizes!
