Dive into a new adventure in the Livingston Parish Library’s Summer Reading Program

This summer, embark on a roaring adventure filled with prehistoric creatures, thrilling tales, and the awe of discovery!

Get ready for the Livingston Parish Library’s annual Summer Reading Program, which will take place from May 18 – August 2, 2026. This engaging initiative invites readers of all ages to immerse themselves in the joy of reading throughout the summer months.
