Our theme for Summer Reading 2026 is Unearth a Story. Keep track of your reading goals and attend exciting events all summer long!
Join us in the RPLF Teen Zone to make fossil themed art with various art techniques! For our first event in the three-part series, we will introduce the art form of linocut printing using erasers and plants. Each technique in the series will symbolize the imprints that dinosaurs and other ancient critters left behind in sediment.
