Did you know it’s summer reading season? ☀️ From May 15th to August 15th, you can earn points for every summer read, giving you the chance to win a gift card to one of our local indie bookstores!

Catch up with our previous summer readers, their favorite summer reads, and what they love about summer reading!

Summer Reader: Whitney Roy

What’s your favorite book you’ve read as part of the summer reading program?:
I'm a comfort reader, so I tend to just reread my favorite books over and over again.

What do you enjoy about the summer reading program?:
What's not to love about reading books all summer long and getting to have a pizza party with your friends to celebrate? It's basically the adult version of the Pizza Hut reading program, except you're not limited to a personal-sized pizza.

What was the last book that you couldn’t put down?:
I'm a huge audiobook fan, so I'm currently loving the new full-cast versions of the Harry Potter series. The musical score, sound effects, and incredible cast of voice actors bring the story to life in a way that almost feels like reading it for the first time.

Want to read Whitney’s picks? You can find them in our library catalog:

It has been a rainy week here in the Laurel Ridge service region. Although we were lucky enough to have clear skies for our commencement ceremonies, some of our partner high schools have not been so lucky. This week’s from the college archives takes us back to one of our more challenging commencements in 2022 as Nursing faculty member Elizabeth Marshall dons a poncho for the march.
