Welcome to The Big Read: Summerdale Reads"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain
Not only a literary classic but also part of the American imagination. More than any other work in our culture it established America's vision of childhood. Mark Twain created two fictional boys, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn, who still seem more real than alot of people we know today. Twain reminded adults that children were not angels, but fellow human beings, perhaps all the more lovable because of their imperfections and bad grooming. America has never been the same since. Join us as we celebrate "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer."

"GO GREEN @ SUMMERDALE PUBLIC LIBRARY" The Summerdale Public Library has been designated as an official compact fluorescent light bulb (the curly light bulb) recycling drop-off location by Baldwin EMC who strongly urges consumers to recycle the bulbs. The bulbs do contain mercury but the amount is so small they are completely safe for use in homes and can be disposed of with normal household trash if recycling is not an option.
The Marjorie Younce Snook
