Lee County Library System produces the Reading Festival to remind and inform everyone about the resources and services available at their local libraries – all for free! Your local libraries play a contemporary role in our community as dynamic centers for learning and knowledge. Today’s library program is just as likely to be hands-on computer instruction as it is to be a book discussion. Today’s reference questions are just as likely to be answered via telephone, e-mail or online chat as by a librarian at the reference desk. Lee County Library System has made great strides in anticipating informational needs of the community. The Reading Festival is an opportunity to take programs and resources outside the library’s walls to remind existing users about available services and to entice new users to think of their local library whenever they need information of any kind.

Lee County Library System thanks the volunteers, local media, festival donors and sponsors whose support is critical in maintaining the level of excellence for which the Reading Festival is now known.
