“Oceans of Possibilities” is this year’s theme for Grand County Library District’s Summer Reading Program. I stand on solid ground as I entice you to explore the daunting Oceans of Possibilities offered to our patrons, with over 1.14 million items!

Many of our newest covers depict stunning ocean settings, including travel guides, coffee table books, Navy Seal epics, summer beach reads, sharks, marine mammals and cute children’s books. But it is the word “possibilities” that expands the horizon to include space travel, fantasy lands, dreamlike stories, personal triumphs and imaginative quests.
