There are lots of prizes for those who join us in this summer’s fun-filled activities and reading.  So, ON YOUR MARK, GET SET….come to the kick-off beginninat at 10 a.m. Friday, June 3.  A movie will be shown complete with popcorn for those wishing to sign-up for summer reading. Programs will be at 10 a.m. each Tuesday in June beginning June 7. The library will offer craft days at 10 a.m. on Tuesdays in July beginning July 5.  All supplies will be provided.  Every Friday in June and July at 10 a.m. will be movie day with a snack.  All ages are welcome to the movie, but pre-school children must be accompanied by a parent.
