In celebration of our 2016 summer reading themes, On Your Mark, Get Set, READ (kids) and Get in the Game (teens), drop in anytime between May 2 – August 6 and read books, play board games, color (for all ages), and more with your friends and family. The board games, coloring sheets, and crayons will be out in the Children’s, Tween, and Teen Departments on the tables for you to drop in and use anytime you wish! The Children’s and Teen Departments and new Tween Zone have been updated with new furniture, rugs, and paint to make these places enjoyable to hang out. Thanks to the Friends of the Ponte Vedra Beach Branch Library for making these opportunities possible. Bring your crew, beat the heat, and head on over to your Library!
