Summer Reading Program StoryHour 2025!

SATURDAY, JUNE 21 @ 10:30AM

Whether you are participating in the Maricopa County Reads Summer Reading Program this year or not, we invite you to bring the kiddos and join us in the cool Irish castle at the Irish Cultural Center & McClelland Library for a fun morning of stories!

We will have stories, crafts, and an activity for kiddos. While you’re here explore all 3 floors of our library and museum.

The Maricopa County Reads Summer Reading program is free to participate in, open to all ages, and you can win great prizes! It is also an effective way to bridge the gap and help keep kids reading and learning while school is out…Sign up here https://maricopacountyreads.org/en-US
