ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Rockin' out with fun summer reading

Advertiser Staff

Rockin' in the free ... library?

If you think that's got a nice ring to it, check out Teens Rock @ Your Library, a free statewide program beginning today at all 50 public libraries. For younger kids, the Children's Summer Reading Program, under the banner of "Readiculous!" will focus on silly stories.

Preschoolers to recent high school grads are encouraged to visit the libraries, earning incentives (such as stickers, stationery and snacks) while supplies last. Watch for special programs and performers. Information: 831-6878.
