The Sterling Public Library's Summer Reading Program is well underway, with weekly activities kicking off this week.

Monday was the first in the All-Star Summer Lineup series, with participants hearing from local high school athletes from Sterling, Peetz and Fleming about the sports they play, the equipment they use, what their favorite books are and more. Following the "athlete interviews" and a story, "Charlie Plays Ball," read by Children's Librarian Denise Ladd, the children got to make a sports pennant to show their favorite sports.

Tuesday, the Art Challenge for those ages 10-15 allowed participants to paint a "jersey" that reflects their interests. The completed T-shirts included themes that ranged from musical notes to superheroes.
