Waving potato character that says 'Help us name our summer reading buddy.'

Hello, Readers!

My name is… well… I don’t have one yet!

Maybe you can help me choose one? Write down your best name ideas and help me decide!

I’m your Summer Reading Potato Buddy, and I’ll be reading and growing right alongside you all summer long. Check back each week to see how much I’ve grown-and what I’ve been up to around the library!
