The Maud Public Library is doing their part to keep education and community involvement On Friday they kicked off the summer with the start of their summer reading program.
“The summer reading program is something that public libraries all across the United States do to help prevent the summer slide. Kids get out of school for the summer, they sleep until noon, they watch tv and they lose all that progress they have gained. So this encourages them to read throughout the summer,” said librarian Savannah Monroe. “They will be provided with snacks and activities and all the books they can stand.”
The program will meet every Friday through the month of June at the Friends of the Library annex building. Area kids from ages 3- to 17-yearsold are welcome to attend.
