Summer with Our Library 2026 – Unearth a Story

The Allegany County Library System is excited to announce our upcoming Summer with Our Library 2026 program, themed “Unearth a Story”—a summer of discovery, imagination, and connection for our community.

Each year, our summer program inspires readers to explore new worlds, develop a love of learning, and engage in activities that spark curiosity.

Your support helps bring this program to life. With your contribution, we can provide:

• Engaging books and reading materials that ignite imagination.
• Interactive workshops and activities that make learning fun.
• Prizes and incentives that encourage participation and celebrate achievements.
• Inclusive programming that ensures every child has the opportunity to participate, regardless of financial means.

By partnering with us, you help nurture a lifelong love of reading and learning, opening doors for our community to explore, ignite, and discover their own stories.

We hope you will consider making a gift to support Summer with Our Library 2026. Together, we can ensure that everyone in our community has the chance to unearth a story this summer.
