Make a Splash at This Year’s Adult Summer Reading Events

Grab your friends and make a splash while attending this year’s Adult Summer Reading programs and events! There’s something for every fish, mermaid and shark to enjoy. The Oceans of Possibilities are bountiful!

Wrap your tentacles around a book as you participate in one, or many, of the book clubs we offer this summer. Together, we will be reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens, The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See and The Guest List by Lucy Foley. If you prefer to flow at the pace of your own waves, the Bring Your Own Book sessions may be your pace. With book club events happening in-person and virtually, you can join the fun anywhere!

If building sandcastles is your kind of fun, you’ll love the many craft activities in store. Help guide your sea pals back to shore by creating your own decorative lighthouse, make an ocean resin pendant to remind you of your favorite beach memories, reflect on the water’s beauty as you draw waves and oceans, catch a pocket full of sunshine with an ocean animal coffee filter suncatcher and more!

For those looking to surround themselves with other ocean enthusiasts, we have just the right events to hook you. Head to shore for some tea and conversation, or learn more about our dol-friends at our virtual dolphin conservation session.

No matter what your interests are, Oceans of Possibilities are waiting for you to dive into here!
