Summer comes to an end
Over 200 teens participated in the teen summer reading program, Feed Your Brain, this year at the Leesburg Library. The program featured food themed events like Teen Iron Chef, Mystery Messes, and Fake Sushi Making. The library also hosted a photo scavenger hunt, Go Green! for teens, and a summer kick-off event with book stacking competition. All the fun was captured in pictures here on
