INYO COUNTY FREE LIBRARY TO HOST SUMMER READING PROGRAM

​Big Pine, Bishop, Independence, and Lone Pine Branches to Participate

​INYO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA – Inyo County Free Library is pleased to announce the beginning of their Summer 2026 reading program, “Plant a Seed, Read.” The program will be held from June 24 through August 6.

​Plant a Seed, Read 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. iREAD 2026: Plant a Seed, Read will provide a context for exploring culture, history, science, health, and human connection.

​Summer reading programs will be held at the Big Pine, Bishop, Independence, and Lone Pine branches of the Inyo County Free Library, with stories and crafts beginning on June 24 in Bishop and Big Pine, July 2 in Lone Pine, and July 9 in Independence.
