Kids of all ages are invited to sign up for a summer of fun and reading by joining one of the library’s summer reading programs. Registration has already begun but the fun will officially kick off on June 7 at 2 p.m., at the big party for “Fizz Boom Read!”

Children ages birth through 12 can participate. Various activities will be planned for each age group related to our theme, Fizz Boom Read! The sessions will be educational but FUN! Each meeting will include stories, games, videos and other incentives to show children you can enjoy reading.

“Encouraging children to read, especially during the summer when they are not in school, is one of our goals,” says Keisha Parks, children’s librarian. “Children who read throughout the summer can improve or maintain their reading, memory and learning skills. That is important for children of all ages.”

Teens, ages 13 through 17, will kick off “Spark a Reaction” on June 14 with an After Hours Kick-Off Party from 7 to 11 p.m. All teen activities will be held on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. Sign-up is required.
