Summer Reading is on the Way

No one needs to tell parents how important it is that their children continue to read over the summer. Children learn so much during the school year, and library summer reading programs are truly meant to help continue that learning process so that kids are ready to return to school in the fall.

The Edith Wheeler Memorial Library's summer reading program officially begins Saturday, June 19 with our kick-off program: Chalk It Up 2! But, parents and kids are welcome all summer long to check out all we have to offer and register for the reading program.

This year we are so lucky to have so many wonderful community sponsors!
