Mission Statement
The Rolla Public Library seeks to enrich and strengthen the lives of the community by connecting individuals to ideas, information, and each other.
Summer is the perfect season to slow down and get lost in a good book. Whether you’re relaxing on the beach, sitting under a shady tree, or enjoying a quiet afternoon at home, reading offers a chance to explore new worlds, discover different perspectives, and spark your imagination. Without the busy pace of the school year, summer provides extra time to read for pleasure and develop a lifelong love of books.
Reading during the summer also helps keep your mind active. It strengthens vocabulary, improves comprehension, and maintains important learning skills while school is out. From exciting adventures and mysteries to inspiring biographies and fascinating nonfiction, every book has something new to teach. No matter your age or interests, making time to read each day can turn summer into a season of learning, relaxation, and endless possibilities.
Please let us know how we can help you.
