Summer is a busy time, but the Bethany Library staff always saves time for reading. Check out what we've been reading, watching, and listening to this summer.

If you'd rather hide from the heat, chill out with movies and TV shows set in cooler locales.
The Teen Library Council has published their last podcast of the school year. They say goodbye to some team members who are going to college and talk about what favorite books they want to reread this summer.
