Something BIG is stomping its way to the Pittsburg Public Library!

 

This summer, we’re going back in time to Unearth a Story, the 2026 Summer Reading Program theme. This program is part of the national Collaborative Summer Library Program (CLSP).
Join us for a summer filled with books, programs, prizes, and fun for all ages!

Join a reading program—available for kids, teens, and adults—to track your reading and earn prizes.

All summer events are listed on the Calendar and are color-coded by age group.
