Whitman County Rural Library District believes that Summer Reading is something to celebrate, from start to finish! For that reason, many of our branch locations are offering launch parties for summer readers of all ages in their community. Some offer treats, some offer crafts, and all of them offer a great opportunity to start Summer Reading off strong!
