Join our resident island librarian Page between 2:30-4:30 PM to celebrate the finish of our summer reading challenge! Drop by the library island inside the Nintendo Switch game Animal Crossing. Wear a fairy tale outfit, compete in a challenge, try our obstacle course, and win an in-game prize!

During the two hour period, we ask that players are mindful of how long they stay — we want to make sure as many players as possible can visit!
