Summer Library Program

Summer Library Program Kick-Off Event

Saturday, June 13, 2026

10:00am–12:00pm

Help us celebrate the start of our Summer Library Program! Drop in to learn about the exciting programs we have planned all summer, and join in the fun!

Plant A Seed, Read

June 15 – August 8, 2026

Renew your love of reading this summer at Mukwonago Community Library! Join our community of readers by enrolling in this year’s summer library program titled, Plant A Seed, Read. The theme is rooted in the concept of farm to table. A farm grows food that nourishes our bodies; a library grows ideas that nourish our minds. Both food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy, and ecology. 

Designed for all ages, everyone is welcome to join the program by enrolling online through the Beanstack app.
