2025 Summer Reading: Color Our World

Summer Reading 2025 begins May 31st!

The Ohio County Public Library’s Summer Reading Program is held annually for all ages during the summer months. Every year themed displays, prize giveaways, and special programs are planned to encourage patrons, young and old, to read as many books as possible throughout the summer. 

This year's summer reading theme is "Color Our World"! Register at the library and receive your summer reading program ticket, welcome packet,  or bookmark log to begin.
