County’s Summer Programs at the Library Spark Creativity and Learning for All Ages

Leon County Government is excited to announce the launch of summer programming at all Leon County Public Library locations throughout June and July. Residents of all ages can enjoy fun and educational programs focused on literacy, art, and creative expression. Kids and teens can experience engaging events designed to prevent the learning loss students can experience while out of school, also known as the “summer slide.” Adults can discover opportunities to connect, learn something new, and express their creativity through workshops and hands-on experiences.
