The Augusta-Richmond County Public Library System (ARCPLS) invites readers of all ages to participate in the Tails and Tales Summer Reading Program June 1 through August 6. Reach your reading goals to earn individual prizes and be entered into special prize drawings throughout the summer while supplies last. The virtual kickoff event takes place June 1- June 5 on the Augusta Library Facebook page @ARCPLS. The animal themed event will feature programs in collaboration with the Savannah River Site Ecology Lab, Where the Wild Things Are Rescue, Riverbanks Zoo and Garden, and so many more.
