Metamorphosis @ Your Library
Young Adult Summer Reading Program (For Grades 5 & Up)

Metamorphosis, according to the American Heritage Dictionary: 1. A transformation, as by magic or sorcery. 2. A marked change in appearance, character, condition, or function. 3. Biology. A change in the form—and often habits—of an animal during normal development after the embryonic stage.

As a young adult, you understand all about changes in life. Like the butterfly, you are transforming into a beautiful and unique person almost ready to fly on your own. Join us this summer as we explore the idea of change through reading, programs, and activities at the library.
