As summer approaches, the Santa Clarita Public Library is preparing to start its 2024 Summer Reading Program, titled 'Read, Renew, Repeat.' This program aims to encourage reading and includes fun, educational activities that focus on environmental awareness. The library has organized events for all age groups to ensure community-wide participation.

For children, the library offers activities like scavenger hunts, tie-dye bandana workshops, and a cooking competition similar to Top Chef Jr. These are designed to be enjoyable and to inspire creativity and learning. Teens can explore environmental topics through activities such as water testing with Enviroscape and participating in community cleanups, fostering a sense of community responsibility.

Adults can participate in creating mushroom terrariums and learning about hydroponics using Mason jars. These activities combine creativity with environmental care, offering a rewarding experience for participants.

The library also provides educational sessions at its three branches, including talks on local water services and recycling, to increase community awareness about sustainability. The 'Lunch at the Library' program will continue, providing free, nutritious meals to children and teens at selected branches during the summer.
