Dinosaurs are taking over the Fayette County Memorial Library this summer. From fossil hunts and dinosaur-themed science experiments to reading challenges and summer camps, library staff have assembled a full schedule of activities designed to keep children reading and  learning throughout the summer months. The library’s 2026 Summer Reading Program, themed “Unearth a Story,” began June 1 and continues through July, offering free programs for children, families and adults.
