<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Last week I was lucky enough to brainstorm with Lisa and Lily, your OYAN summer reading reps, about our upcoming 2026 Summer,
<i>Plant a Seed, Read</i>! This theme is rooted in the idea of farm to table, helping us remember that food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy and ecology.
<i>Plant a Seed, Read</i> looks at the library as a community table, where instead of food, we feast on ideas.
