Boerne citizens, get ready to kick off your summer with a dash of adventure — courtesy of your local library. As announced in a recent city alert, this year’s summer theme is "Begin Your Adventure @ the Library," promising a trove of activities and illuminating speaker events designed for every age group. Eager to beat the heat with some brainy engagement? Look no further.

Unlike the Bermuda Triangle, you won’t get lost trying to find your way to participate. According to the city’s website, most of these summer programs don’t require any registration, so you can just walk in like you own the place. But for those looking to secure their spot at specific events, they’ve made a brochure (PDF) — make sure to get your hands on that golden ticket.

Bookworms and the adventure-hungry can expect to dive into a variety of discussion groups that have taken a turn for the adventurous. The library is set to transform into a hub of exploration — minus the jungle insects and exhausting treks, of course. From the comfort of air-conditioned rooms, the summer lineup is designed to provide an escape into the wild unknown, minus the danger.

Staying informed on the whens and wheres is a no-brainer. All events have been conveniently listed on the library’s web calendar. With just a few clicks and searching the term "Adventure," you can map out your entire summer expedition. The broad range of programs offered under the Adventure theme is as easy to find as a pirate’s treasure marked by an X on a map, but much safer to pursue.

The community has responded with enthusiasm, warming up to the library’s invitation to adventure. Fun seekers from toddlers to seniors, get ready to embark on a literary journey this summer without the hassle of packing, at what is promising to be the go-to destination for local explorers of all things bookish and beyond.
