The Marshall Bullock Summer Reading Program is supported by the Friends of the James L. Hamner Public Library.
Amelia County Animal Shelter Partnership
Each week during the summer, the Animal Shelter will feature an animal in need of adoption or fostering (unless they have no animal in need). They will name the animal based on the month's literary theme provided by the library. The library will pick a book based on the animal's name or personality. The animal will be featured on the library and animal shelter's Facebook pages.
