The library kicked off its Summer Reading Program with about 200 children on Tuesday, June 5. “It went perfect,” said Ginger Garvin, library director.
The program began at 1 p.m. where children would pick out a few books and sit somewhere inside the library and read for an hour. After the “reading club,” staff had planned an activity for the children, the “Bubble Experiment” and a water gun fight.
The program will also have a drawing every week. Children who have attended the sessions that they had signed up for will enter for a chance to win various prizes, said Garvin.
The program will continue on Thursday with Story Time followed by a movie. The program is staffed by both volunteers and paid staff and is funded, in part, by a literacy grant from the Verizon Foundation, said Garvin.
