Degenstein Community Library

Raise the Region = Raise Readers!

Every summer, the Degenstein Community Library encourages our community to embrace the joy of reading. This year’s Summer Reading Program, themed “Unearth a Story,” will span an exciting 9 weeks and feature daily activities for all ages.

In 2025, we celebrated incredible success: hundreds of children participated, and over 150 completed ALL 9 weeks of activities! Planning is well underway for this year’s program expanding to 12 weeks of activities, with captivating presenters like PT Reptiles, Science Heroes, Mr. Mike the Dino Guy, Lykens Valley Children's Museum, Bright Star Touring Theatre and so much more.
