Henrico County promotes free summer "Free For All" programs at libraries and parks

Henrico County · May 27, 2026

Summary

Henrico County is promoting free summer programming across its libraries and parks, including a dinosaur-themed Summer Reading Challenge and family events; registration and schedules are available at HenricoLibrary.org.

Henrico County departments urged residents to take part in its "Free For All" summer offerings, a suite of no-cost programs at county libraries and parks that run throughout the season. Library staff said the county's libraries "are free and are open to everybody" and that most activities do not require a library card, noting a focus on broad access.

The county's Summer Reading Challenge this year uses the theme "Unearth a Story," centered on dinosaurs, and officials said the initiative includes more than books: library-led programs, community events and recreation activities aimed at families. "Our biggest, most popular program is going to be our Summer Reading Challenge," a library staff member said, adding that the calendar of events is available online. The announcement highlighted both Juneteenth observances and a two-day Henrico Fourth celebration as signature summer events.
