Welcome to the Color Our World Summer Reading Program!

​

The Hillsboro City Library encourages you to read for 20 minutes every day this summer. Read aloud to your younger siblings or to your parents, read in your favorite quiet spot, or reread your favorite book again. It doesn't matter how or where you read as long as you're having fun while you do it! So grab a book, get comfortable, and read so that you can log 10 hours of reading this summer and earn some awesome prizes!

​

Our annual Summer Kickoff Carnival will be on Thursday, May 29th! In June, we have an amazing lineup of Summer Reading performers on the calendar for you to enjoy. We will be hosting storytellers, animal experts, and more at Historic City Hall! In July, the library will have a number of hands-on activities in available at the library. While you're waiting for the library's next program, be sure to stop by Hillsboro City Park and check out the  Library's StoryWalk!
