Hey, everyone--the Turon Community Library is going to have a shorten summer reading program this next week. The programs will be on August 8, 9,10 &11. This year we will break the groups up according to age--please know that the age groups are just suggestions and anyone is welcomed at anytime. We are planning to have a story time for 3-5 year olds from 9 am to 9:45 (if possible we would like an adult to older person to attend with the younger kids), 6 to 8 year olds from 10 to 10:45 and 9 to 12 year olds from 11:00 to 11:45. Please tell and encourage any young people you might know about these programs--it will be a good "slide" into school! P.S. there will be small prizes for those who attend!

Whether it's a smile for a neighbor, or a closet full of unworn clothing for the needy, today it is better to give than receive. The goal is to give something away to someone else, in hopes of increasing positivity in the world. Use the day to spread kindness, clean out clutter, or help those in need. Maybe just use the day to give yourself a much needed break. 😉
