Celebrate Smokey Bear’s 80th birthday with us by participating in the Smokey Bear Reading Challenge! Participants will learn about wildfires and the environment by reading books, taking action, and having fun. Stop by any of our branches and pick up a challenge sheet.

Additionally, visit the Granville branch to view Smokey Bear collectibles and memorabilia, on loan from staff member Rachael Blomquist, during June and August. Take a photo with a life-size Smokey and enjoy a film presentation that chronicles Smokey’s journey from the 1940s to the present day with audio and visual clips.
