Summer Reading has begun at Whitman County Library and you’re invited to participate! This year’s theme, Unearth a Story, celebrates the joy of discovery through books, programs, and local knowledge. Learn more below:

Punch Cards
Stop by any of our 14 branches between June 1 – August 14 to pick up a punch card and track your reading all summer long! Once you complete your first card you will receive a custom WCL book bag and a couple other small prizes, but it doesn’t stop there! Each punch card that you complete (first one included) will be entered into the drawing for the county-wide grand prize drawing.
