Hey Kids!
We're WILD about reading!
Get ready for this year's Summer Reading

This summer let's read, discover, and
explore! All ages are invited to join us

minute increments, and visit the library
after 200 minutes read to pick up your
prize. There are a total of three prizes
to collect, with the grand prize being a
Summer Reading t-shirt! For children up

Welcome to Dragana Drobnjak, our new
Youth Services Coordinator!
Meet her at our Summer Reading
Kickoffs, June 12 and 14.
Dragana Drobnjak was born in Croatia and moved
to the United States as a pre-teen. She was
always passionate about music, art and culture
and thus decided to study Art Therapy and
Library Sciences. Working as a librarian, she
enjoys connecting others with information that
allows them to pursue their own passions.
She first became interested in the library
field when she read a quote by one of her
favorite authors, Ray Bradbury. "Libraries
raised me," he said. "I couldn’t go to college,
so I went to the library three days a week for
ten years." Outside of work, Dragana enjoys
relaxing at home and spending time with her
family, friends, and pets. |
