EL CENTRO, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) – El Centro Library says their 2025 Summer Reading Program drew more than 43,000 people, reaching full capacity.
“This summer’s success is a direct result of listening to our community and the dedication of our incredible staff,” said Library Director Carla Mason. “We asked residents what they wanted to see, and our team worked tirelessly to bring those ideas to life. The result was packed programs, high energy, and a stronger connection between the Library and the people we serve.”
The library says this was due in part to the El Centro community providing recommendations “via a resident survey in 2024.”

“Our Library has once again shown what’s possible when a city listens to its residents and delivers programs that inspire and connect,” said Mayor Sonia Carter. “I’m especially proud of the Library staff for the outstanding job they did in bringing these ideas to life and making this year’s Summer Reading Program such a success for our community.”
Several entertainers, such as Wild Wonders, Lion Dancers and a magician, participated in the program, with the El Centro Fire Department hosting a obstacle course.
