The Portage Lake District Library and the Hancock School Public Library are thrilled to launch
the 2022 summer reading program, Oceans of Possibilities. The program will see both libraries engage
students and residents in summer reading activities all season long.
Pre-registration for the reading program will open on Wednesday, June 15 alongside an outdoor
storytime event, hosted by the Hancock School Public Library at the
Hancock Tori and Farmer’s Market on Quincy Green between from 3pm – 6pm.
PLDL will host a Summer Reading kick-off event on Saturday, June 18 at the library. At the
